Question

C-C bond in C2H6 undergoes heterolytic fission, the hybridisation of two resulting carbon atoms is what?and why?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer. In this process, one carbon loses electron electron while other takes it up. C-atom which loses electron becomes sp2 hybridized while that which accepts electron gets sp3 hybridized.

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Answer -

C-atom in CH3+ => sp2 hybridised

C-atom in CH3- => sp3 hybridised

● Explanation -

Heterolytic fission of ethane takes place as follows -

CH3-CH3 + ∆ --> CH3+ + CH3-

In this process, one carbon loses electron electron while other takes it up.

C-atom which loses electron becomes sp2 hybridized while that which accepts electron gets sp3 hybridized.
