    Type of hybridisation

    Explanation:

    For example, saturated hydrocarbons have sp3 hybridisation while unsaturated hydrocarbons have either sp2 or sp hybridisation.

    Example: Ethane (C2H6) has sp3 hybridisation and ethene (C2H4) has sp2 hybridisation and Ethyne (C2H2) has sp hybridization.
