Question

$C-C$ bond in $C_2{H}_6$ undergoes heterolytic fission, the hybridisation of two resulting carbon atoms is/are:

• A. $s{p}^2$ both
• B. $s{p}^3$ both
• C. $s{p}^2,s{p}^3$
• D. $sp$, $s{p}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $s{p}^2,s{p}^3$

After heterlytic fission of $C{H}_3-C{H}_3$ ($C_2{H}_6$),it forms $C{H}_3^{+},C{H}_3^{-}$ i.e carbocation and carbonion which posses $S^2,S{P}^3$ hybridization respectively.

Hence option C is correct.
