Homolytic fission of carbon-carbon bond ...

Homolytic fission of carbon-carbon bond of ethane produces an intermediate in which the carbon atom is in

A

`sp^(3)-hybridised`

B

`sp^(2)-hybridised`

C

sp-hybridised

D

`sp^(2)d hybridised`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Homolytic fission of C-C bond in ethane gives free radicals. In a free radical the central carbon atom is `sp^(2)`-hybridised.
