Question

Explain the formation of ethene molecule with the help of a diagram showing
hybridization in it.

Answer 1

Answer:

The molecule of ethene is obtained from ethane , just the difference is that ethane has single covalent bond and ethene has double covalent bond. The molecule of ethene also shows the hybridization in it.

Thank you ☺✌

Answer 2

Understanding the concept :

• In the molecule ethene, both carbon atoms will be sp2hybridized and have one unpaired electron in a non-hybridized p orbital.

• In ethene, each hydrogen atom has one unpaired electron and each carbon is sp2 hybridized with one electron each sp2 orbital.

• The fourth electron is in the p orbital that will form the pi bond.
