What is the best description of the carbon-carbon bonds in ethene C2H4?

The carbon-carbon bonds in ethene (C2H4) are classified as double bonds. This means that each carbon atom forms two covalent bonds with the other carbon atom, resulting in a strong and stable connection. Double bonds are characterized by the sharing of two pairs of electrons between the carbon atoms.


What is sp2 hybridisation?

Hybridization in brief can be said as inter mixing of orbitals. But you may have questions such as why? where ? when it happens and what exactly it is? Its very simple for example as in your question consider methane. The carbon atom has 2 electrons in 1s orbital and; 2 electrons in 2s orbital and; 1 electron in 2px orbital and; 1 electron in 2py orbital.In methane before carbon atom undergo bonding with hydrogen it undergoes hybridization ,that is 2s orbitals and 2p orbitals combines or hybridizes and for methane it is sp3 hybridization that means an s orbital had combined with 3 of the 2p orbitals (2px,2py,2pz). It has an tetrahedral arrangement (like four corners of a triangular pyramid) of four lobes of angles approx 109.5 degrees(The angle between H-C-H). After hybridization you cannot differentiate s orbital and p orbital.And in that sp3 hybrid each lobe has one electron and all the lobes bond with hydrogen atoms containing single electron.Note that all the lobes must be treated as an orbital such that they can maximum hold only of two electrons.Thus methane is formed as an result of head on collision of sp3 hybrids and hydrogen atoms.

Is hydration of ethene preparation of ethanol?

yes, because the hydration of ethene or ethylene (C2H4) is process of reacting ethene with water(H2O) which gives out ethanol. for more information please visit wikipedia regards~anonymous


Describe How ethene forms poly (ethene)?

Polyethylene, a polymer of ethene, is formed through a process called polymerization. This involves linking together many ethene molecules (monomers) through a series of chemical reactions. The double bond in each ethene molecule is broken, allowing the monomers to join together and form long chains known as polymers.


Is ethene a monomer or a polymer?

Ethene ( C2H4 ) is the monomere of the polymere 'polyethene'(also called polyene, short name: PE, symbol: (C2H4)n )


Is ethene ionic or covalent?

Ethene (C2H4) is a covalent compound. It is formed by the sharing of electrons between the carbon and hydrogen atoms, making it a covalent bond.
