Vedclass · Answer

(C) In the $C_2H_4$ molecule,each carbon atom is $sp^2$ hybridized. Each carbon atom forms three $sp^2$ sigma bonds (two with hydrogen atoms and one with the other carbon atom) and one $\pi$ bond. The $sp^2$ hybridization results in a trigonal planar geometry around each carbon atom,making the entire molecule planar with a bond angle of approximately $120^{\circ}$.
