The carbon atoms in the Graphite structure are sp2 hybridized and are directed in the same plane thus forming hexagonal rings. In acetylene, one carbon combines with other carbon atoms with three bonds having 1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds. The type of hybridization that exists in this chemical compound is sp type.
By adding the number of σ-bonds designed by the chosen atom (in this case ‘I’) and the lone pair’s number on it, we can simply distinguish the hybridization of it. If the addition is 2 → hybridization−sp. If the addition is 3 → hybridization−sp2. If the addition is 4 → hybridization−sp3. If the addition is 5 → hybridization−sp3d
