The outer orbitals of $C$ in ethene molecule can be considered to be hybridized to give three equivalent $sp^2$ orbitals. The total number of sigma $(\sigma)$ and pi $(\pi)$ bonds in ethene molecule is

  • A
    $3$ sigma $(\sigma)$ and $2$ pi $(\pi)$ bonds
  • B
    $4$ sigma $(\sigma)$ and $1$ pi $(\pi)$ bonds
  • C
    $5$ sigma $(\sigma)$ and $1$ pi $(\pi)$ bonds
  • D
    $1$ sigma $(\sigma)$ and $2$ pi $(\pi)$ bonds
