Q. The ratio of percentage $s$-character of $C$-atom in ethyne and ethene is equal to

Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

The percentage $s$-character of $C$-atom in ethyne is $50 \%$
The percentage $s$-character of $C$-atom in ethene is $33 \%$
So, the ratio of percentage $s$-character of C-atom
$=\frac{50}{33}=\frac{3}{2}$
