Which atomic orbitals overlap to form the carbon-hydrogen $\sigma$ bonding molecular orbitals of ethane, CH₃CH₃? A)C2p + H1s B)C2sp + H1s C)C2sp² + H1s D)C2sp³ + H1s

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In ethane, carbon atoms are sp3 hybridized, so the C-H sigma bonds are formed by the overlap of sp3 hybrid orbitals of carbon with the 1s orbitals of hydrogen.
