Explain hybridization of carbon and bond structure of ethene (C_(2)H_(

1.	Explain hybridization of carbon and bond structure of ethene (C_(2)H_(4))OR Explain: Ethene is planar molecule. Sub. Que. Explain sp^(2) hybridization of carbon in ethene.
Answer» Solution :Ground carbon: [He]` 2s^(2) 2P^(2)` Excited carbon : [He] `2s^(1) 2p_(x)^(1) 2p_(y)^(1) 2p_(z)^(1)` In `sp^(2)` hybridization the ONE half filled 2s and two 2p orbitals of excited carbon combine and FORM three `sp^(2)` orbitals. Three sp2 orbitals are planar at `120^(@)` angle. In this planar ARRANGEMENT one 2py orbital is per-pendicular to the plane.
