What is C2H4 molecular geometry?

Each carbon atom has sp2 hybridization and are locked in the same plane due to the double bond located between them. The carbon atoms have 3 electron groups surrounding them with no lone pairs present thefore, It will have a trigonal planar geometry


How do you find the shape around an atom?

The shape of a molecule, or the geometry around an atom, is given pretty well by the VSEPR theory.Imagine tying three balloons together. How would they sit in relation to that center? They will all point away from the center, as far apart from one another as possible, and will all sit in a common plane. This geometry is called trigonal planar, or sp2. It works the same way with the electrons around an atom. When there are three electronic domains tied to one atom, they will all point away from the central atom, they will sit as far apart as possible, and they will all sit in the same plane. Imagine an atom with a lone pair, a single bond, and a double bond. Each of these three electronic domains will repel one another, and give the atom a trigonal planar geometry.


Is SP3d3 hybridization in any atom possible?

The bonding in Mo(CN)84- anion as been described in terms of sp3d4 hybridisation. The geometry of the hybrid bonds is "dodecahedral". The use of hybridisation to describe the bonding in transition metal complexes is very old school and other metods are generally used nowadays. There are some horrible pictures of this geometry on the web, try googling books for pictures.


What plane divides the body into equal left and right portions?

This plane is called as 'Median plane'. Also it is called as Sag-ital plane. (Sagita means arrow. It penetrates like arrow.)


What is the name of the plane that divides the body into upper and lower sections?

horizontal plane

What is plain geometry?

Presumably it is simply geometry. However, plane geometry is geometry which is limited to objects with up to two dimensions, that is, objects that lie in a plane - or on a flat surface.
