Question

Which of the following statements about ethene, C2H4, is incorrect?
Options
A The H–C–H bond angles are approximately 109.5°.
Correct Answer
B There is a total of five sigma bonds.
C The carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized.
D The H–C–H bond angles are approximately 120°.
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In ethene (C2H4), the carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized with trigonal planar geometry. The H-C-H bond angles are approximately 120°, not 109.5° (which is for sp3 hybridization). The other statements are correct.

Hint

What are the bond angles in sp2 hybridized carbon?
