Question

A molecule $(X)$ has (i) four sigma bonds formed by the overlap of $s p^{2}$ and $s$ orbitals (ii) one sigma bond formed by $s p^{2}$ and $s p^{2}$ orbitals and (iii) one $\pi$ bond formed by $p_{x}$ and $p_{z}$ orbitals. Which of the following is $X$ ?

• A. $C _{2} H _{6}$
• B. $C _{2} H _{3} Cl$
• C. $C _{2} H _{2} Cl _{2}$
• D. $C _{2} H _{4}$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Structure of $C _{2} H _{4}$ is :



So, the compound $(X)$ is $C _{2} H _{4}$.
