Anionic part of Zeise's salt is an organometallic compound :

The H-C-H bond angles in Zeise's salt are about :

A

`115^(@)`, intermediate between the ideal values for `sp^(2)" and "sp^(3)` hybridisation

B

`135^(@)`, intermediate between the ideal values for `sp" and "sp^(2)` hybridisation

C

`120^(@)` exactly

D

`97^(@)` intermediate between the ideal values for `sp^(3)" and "sp^(2)` hybridisation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In case of Zeise's salt C-atom of `C_(2)H_(4)` contains intermediate character of `sp^(2)` and `sp^(3)`, consequently the bond angle of H-C-H has been observed in between `120^(@)` to `109^(@)` which is `115^(@)`.
