Q. The maximum number of carbon atoms arranged linearly in the molecule, $CH_{3} - C \equiv C - CH = CH_{2}$ is
A) 5
B) 4
C) 2
D) 3
Explanation
(c)
[image:12_image361.emf]
The C-atoms attached to the triple bond lie in a straight line while the carbon of the $CH_{2}$ group is inclined at an angle of $120{^\circ}.$ Therefore, only 2 carbon atoms are linearly arranged
