The carbon atoms in ethene are?
- sp3 hybridized
- sp hybridized
-
sp2 hybridized
- not hybridized
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
The hybridization in ethene (ethylene) is SP\(^2\). This means that each carbon atom in the molecule uses one s orbital and two p orbitals to form three hybrid orbitals, resulting in a trigonal planar geometry.
