Which of the following represents the correct hybridization and bond angle for the central carbon in ethene (C2H4)?
Asp3, 109.5
Bsp2, 120
Csp, 180
Dsp2, 109.5
✓ Correct Answer: B — sp2, 120
Ethene contains a double bond; the carbon atoms use sp2 hybridization to form three sigma bonds in a trigonal planar arrangement (120 degrees).
