There are several families of hydrocarbons among which are alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. The parents of each family are CH4(methane), H2C=CH2(ethene) and H-C triple bond(ethyne) respectively. Forecast the geometries of these molecules give the hybridization of carbon in each molecule, and suggest whether they are polar or nonpolar molecules.
molecule C-hybridization Polar (yes or no)
a)CH4
b) C2H4
c) C2H2
