Each carbon atom in benzene is in the state of hybridization

A

`sp^(3)`

B

`sp^(2)`

C

`sp`

D

`s^(3) p`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

All carbon atoms form one `pi`-bond, so all carbon atoms are in the `sp^(2)` state of hybridization

Ethylene molecules is formed as a result of sp^(2) hybridisation of carbon. Each carbon atom is excited state undergo sp^(2) hybridisation giving rise to three hybrid orbitals each. These hybrid orbtals lie in the xy plane while the fourth unhybridised orbital lies at right angles to the hybridised orbitals. in the overlap ethylene two hybrid orbitals, i.e., one from each carbon atom from a sigma bond by head on overlap while the remaining overlap with hydrogen atoms. the unhybridised p-orbitals undergo sidewise overlap to from a pi -bonds Ground state of carbon atom Excited state of carbon atom The molecules of ethylene is planar If molecular axis is z axis then
