In the molecule C₂H₄ the valence orbitals of the carbon atoms are assumed to be A)not hybridized B)sp hybridized C)sp² hybridized D)sp³ hybridized E)dsp hybridized

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In ethylene (C2H4), each carbon atom forms three sigma bonds (two with hydrogen and one with the other carbon), which requires sp2 hybridization, leaving one unhybridized p orbital for the pi bond.
