Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following species has sp2 hybridization?
Correct Answer: C2H4
  • Step 1: Understand what sp2 hybridization means. It involves one s orbital and two p orbitals mixing to form three equivalent sp2 hybrid orbitals.
  • Step 2: Identify the species in question, which is C2H4 (ethylene).
  • Step 3: Look at the structure of C2H4. It has a carbon-carbon double bond.
  • Step 4: Each carbon atom in C2H4 forms three sigma bonds: two with hydrogen atoms and one with the other carbon atom.
  • Step 5: The presence of a double bond indicates that each carbon atom uses sp2 hybridization to form these bonds.
  • Step 6: Conclude that since both carbon atoms in C2H4 are sp2 hybridized, the answer to the question is that C2H4 has sp2 hybridization.
