The carbon atoms in ethene are?
sp3 hybridized
sp hybridized
sp2 hybridized
not hybridized
Объяснение
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.
