NEET 2013 Chemistry Hybridisation MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
The outer orbitals of C in 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 ethene molecule is:
A
3 sigma (σ) and 2 pi(π) bonds
B
4 sigma (σ) and 1 pi(π) bonds
C
5 sigma (σ) and 1 pi(π) bonds
D
1 sigma (σ) and 2 pi(π) bonds
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
Ethene (C₂H₄) has a double bond between the carbon atoms, consisting of one sigma and one pi bond, and each carbon forms two additional sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.
