Which of the following best represents an sp² hybridized atomic orbital of carbon which overlaps with the 1s atomic orbital of hydrogen to form a C-H $\sigma$bonding molecular orbital in ethene, H₂C=CH₂ A)1 B)2 C)3

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sp² hybridized atomic orbital of carbon has one unpaired electron and can form one sigma bond when overlapped with the 1s atomic orbital of hydrogen. This results in the formation of the CF1F1F1S1F1F1F10H F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 bonding molecular orbital in ethene. Choice C is the only option that has one unpaired electron and can form one sigma bond, matching the hybridization and bonding requirements of the carbon and hydrogen atoms in ethene.
