By applying the concept of hybridization explain the shape of C2 H6 molecule
Answers
hey mate your answer is here your plz mark as brainlist
Ethane, C2H6, has 2(4) + 6(1) = 14 valence electrons. The Lewis structure is: The carbon atoms are sp3 hybridized. The six C‒H sigma bonds are formed from overlap of the sp3 hybrid orbitals on C with the 1s atomic orbitals from the hydrogen atoms.
ihope you like my answer
Answer:Ethane basically consists of two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms. However, carbon will be the central atom and its orbitals will take part in hybridization.
Explanation:
In C2H6, 1 s orbital and three p-orbitals (px, py, pz) take part in hybridization.
There is a formation of four sp3 hybridized orbitals.
During the hybridization of ethane four identical bonds are formed in a perfect tetrahedral geometry.
C2H6 molecule is arranged in a tetrahedral geometry. The central carbon atoms are surrounded by H-atoms with a bond angle of 109.5
