Identify the correct statement from below concerning the structure of `CH_2 = C = CH_2`

Options

A. The molecule is planar
B. One of the three carbon atoms is in an `sp^3`- hybridized state
C. The molecule is non-planar with the two `CH_2` groups being in planes perpendicular to each other
D. All the carbon atoms are sp-hybridised

Answer

C

Explanation

The rate of hybridisation of C-atom are given above each C-atom.
`overset(sp^2)(H_2C)=overset(sp)(C)=overset(sp^2)(CH_2)`
The molecule is non-planar with the two `CH_2` groups in planes perpendicular to each other.
