What is the valency of Carbon in C2H2?

Question

Suyash Verma · Answer

Here, carbon has 4 valency...... According to the electronic configuration C-> 1s 2 2s 2 2p 2 , here there are 2 unpaired elctrons, but the excitation w1hile bonding (exchange energy) results in the replacement of e - (with -1/2 spin) from 2s to 2p (+1/2 spin). this leaves the carbon atom with 4 unpaired elcetrons which gets paired during hybridisation; 1s 2 2s 1 2p 3 Hence it has 4 valency......

@ mudit
in c2h2 carbon forms 1 triple bond , it shares 3 electron here .
carbon doesnot gain or loose electron , it only shares the electron .
so, valency of carbon will be same for every compound as for ethene , ethyle , and ethane .
HOPE IT CLEARS
ALL THE BEST ..
