Q
Q: What type of hybridization is present in the carbon atom of ethylene (C2H4)?
Solution:
The carbon atoms in ethylene undergo sp2 hybridization.
Steps: 7
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that ethylene (C2H4) has two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms.
Step 2: Each carbon atom in ethylene forms three bonds: two with hydrogen atoms and one with the other carbon atom.
Step 3: To form these bonds, the carbon atoms need to mix their atomic orbitals.
Step 4: Carbon has one 2s orbital and three 2p orbitals. In sp2 hybridization, one 2s orbital mixes with two 2p orbitals.
Step 5: This mixing creates three equivalent sp2 hybrid orbitals that are arranged in a trigonal planar shape.
Step 6: The remaining 2p orbital on each carbon atom is used to form a double bond with the other carbon atom.
Step 7: Therefore, the type of hybridization in the carbon atoms of ethylene is sp2.
