Locate the sp³, sp² and sp hybridized carbon atoms in the following compounds.
(a) 
(b)
Analyse We are given two compounds and are asked to relate the bonding types to a level of hybridization.
Plan This type of question is made easier by remembering that all carbons are sp³ hybridized, except for those containing a double bond (in which case they are sp² hybridized) and those containing a triple bond (which are sp hybridized).
Solve Using these observations:
(a) 
(b)
