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 an $ -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
• E. The molecule is bent with the $ CCC $ angle being $ 120 $ degrees.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The rate of hybridisation of C-atom are given above each C-atom.
$ H_1C^{sp^2} = C^{sp} = CH_2^{sp^2} $
The molecule is non-planar with the two $ CH_2 $ groups in planes perpendicular to each other
