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 and in free radicals the carbon atom carrying unpaired electron is `sp^(2)`-hybridised.
