Q
Q: What type of hybridization is present in ethylene (C2H4)?
Solution:
Ethylene has sp2 hybridization due to the presence of a double bond between the carbon atoms.
Steps: 7
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the molecular formula of ethylene, which is C2H4.
Step 2: Determine the number of carbon atoms in ethylene, which is 2.
Step 3: Each carbon atom in ethylene forms 3 sigma bonds: 2 with hydrogen atoms and 1 with the other carbon atom.
Step 4: Recognize that there is a double bond between the two carbon atoms in ethylene.
Step 5: Understand that a double bond consists of 1 sigma bond and 1 pi bond.
Step 6: Conclude that to form 3 sigma bonds, each carbon atom undergoes sp2 hybridization.
Step 7: Therefore, ethylene has sp2 hybridization due to the presence of a double bond between the carbon atoms.
