hope it helps u :)

thnx 4 asking!✌

Answer 2

The molecular formula of ethene is C₂H₄ and its electron dot structure is given below.

• Ethene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon that has a double bond (C = C) in its structure.
• It has 2 carbons ( 'eth' = 2 carbons). 4 hydrogens are present to satisfy the valencies of the carbon atoms.
• The carbon atoms are sp² hybridized each.
• In an electron dot structure, only the valence electrons are shown.
• The valence electrons present in ethene are due to 2 (Valence electrons in C) + 4 (Valence electrons in H).
• Total number of valence electrons = 2 X 6 + 4 X 1 =  16 electrons.
• The structure is attached below.
