In `C_2H_6` (ethane), the `C-C` sigma `(sigma)` bond is formed by _______overlap.A. `p-p`B. `sp-s`C. `s-s`D. `sp^3-sp^3`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The Lewis structure of `C_2H_6` is
`H-overset(H)overset(|)underset(H)underset(|)C-overset(H)overset(|)underset(H)underset(|)C-H`
Every C atom is `sp^3`-hybridized as it forms `4sigma` bonds. Thus, the `C-C` bond is `sp^3-sp^3` sigma bond while the `C-H` bonds are `sp^3-s` bonds.
