Question

Identify the correct statement from below, concerning the structure of $ C{{H}_{2}}=C=C{{H}_{2}} $ .

• A. The molecule is planar
• B. One of the three carbon atoms is in $ s{{p}^{3}} $ hybridized state
• C. The molecule is non-planar with the two $ -C{{H}_{2}} $ groups being in planes perpendicular to each other
• D. All the carbon atoms are sp-hybridized

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The structure, $ C{{H}_{2}}=C=C{{H}_{2}} $ is non-planar with the two $ -\,C{{H}_{2}} $ groups being in planes perpendicular to each other.
