Best Answer

sp2. Each carbon is sp2 hybridised leaving a p orbital that can form a pi bond. The ethylene (ethene) molecule is planar.

What type of hybridIzation is c2br2?

There wont be a stable compound with the formula C2Br2. If there is then it will be sp hybridization of carbon. If the question is for CH2Br2, then carbon will be sp3 hybridized.

What is the type of hybridization of Br in BrF5?

sp3d2 Br hybridizes 4s, 4p and 4d If I'm not mistaken. Seems kind of strange for a hybridization since it involves two 4d orbital when you'd expect it to hybridize with only one 4d orbital, but that's what I found on a few websites.


Where does ethylene come from?

Ethylene is a hydrocarbon that is commonly found in plants since its main function is being a hormone for plants. This product is also used to ripen fruits.


Is ethylene petroleum?

No. It is produced from either ethylene oxide (an epoxide) or ethylene glycol (an alchohol). Petroleum is composed of tens, often hundreds, of hydrocarbons and is not used to make polyethylene glycol.


What types of hybridization allows for single double and triple bonds and what molecular shapes are formed with each type of bond?

in single bond hybridization will be sp3 and take tetrahedral shape as in CH4 in double bond hybridization will be sp2 and take planar triangle shape as in C2H4in triple bond hybridization will be sp and take linear shape as in C2H2
