Question

The number of sigma bonds in ethane formed by the overlap of sp3 and s orbitals is (A) 5 (B) 6 (C) 7 (D) 4

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Structure of C2H6 is: The C-atoms in ethane are sp3 hybridized so, the sigma bond between C?C atoms is sp3-sp3 sigma bond and the bond formed between C and H are sp3-s sigma bond Hence, there are 6 sp3-s sigma bonds in ethane.

Structure of $C_{2} H_{6}$ is :
The C-atoms in ethane are $s p^{3}$ hybridized so, the sigma bond between C?C atoms is $s p^{3} - s p^{3}$ sigma bond and the bond formed between C and H are $s p^{3} - s$ sigma bond Hence, there are $6 s p^{3} - s$ sigma bonds in ethane.

Structure of C2​H6​ is : The C-atoms in ethane are sp3 hybridized so, the sigma bond between C?C atoms is sp3−sp3 sigma bond and the bond formed between C and H are sp3−s sigma bond Hence, there are 6sp3−s sigma bonds in ethane.
