Question

Explain the hybridisation of carbon atom in the following molecules in details
(a)CH3-CH3
(b)CH2=CH2

Answer 1

Answer:

sp3,sp2

Explanation:

hybridisation of CH3-CH3 IS SP3

hybridisation of CH2=CH2 IS SP2

Answer 2

hybridization depends only upon the number of sigma bonds and not pie bond

(a)CH3-CH3

both the carbons have 4sigma bonds hence they have sp3 hybridization

(b)CH2=CH2

As double bond is present between 2 C atoms only sigma bond is considered

total no of sigma bonds is 3 hybridization is sp 2
