Question

The outer orbitals of C an Ethene molecule can be considered to be hybridized to give three equivalent sp2 orbitals. The total number of sigma(σ) and pi(π) bonds in the Ethene molecule is


  1. 1 sigma(σ) and 2 Pi(π) bonds

  2. 3 sigma(σ) and 2 Pi(π) bonds

  3. 4 sigma(σ) and 1 Pi(π) bonds

  4. 5 sigma(σ) and 1 Pi(π) bonds

Solution

The correct option is D

5 sigma(σ) and 1 Pi(π) bonds


Explanation of the correct answer:

The correct answer is option B:

Here,

The number of sigma (σ) bonds is 5.

The number of pi (π) bonds is 1.

Hence, option (D) is correct, i.e., 5 sigma(σ) and 1 Pi(π) bonds.
