Explanation:
sp2Hybridization in Ethene and the Formation of a Double Bond. Ethene (C2H4) has a double bond between the carbons. ... Each carbon atom forms two covalent bonds with hydrogen by s–sp2 overlap, all with 120° angles. The pi bond between the carbon atoms perpendicular to the molecular plane is formed by 2p–2p overlap.

Answer:
In ethene molecule, the carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized. One unpaired electron in the p orbital remains unchanged. In ethylene, each carbon combines with three other atoms rather than four. There is a formation of a sigma bond and a pi bond between two carbon atoms.
