Question

Bond angle in ethene is:

• A. ${120}^0$
• B. ${180}^0$
• C. ${109}^0{28}^{\prime }$
• D. ${111}^0$

Answer 1

The correct option is A ${120}^0$

The molecular formula of ethene is $C_2{H}_4$ and C in ethene shows $s{p}^2$ hybridization.

Thus, it has a trigonal planar molecule with bond angle ${120}^0$ on each side. The H-C-H bond angle is ${117}^0$.
