Comparing the geometry of ethane and ethene molecules, what is the characteristic bond angle associated with the carbon atoms in ethene?
Q1. Comparing the geometry of ethane and ethene molecules, what is the characteristic bond angle associated with the carbon atoms in ethene?
Answer: Ethene has a bond angle of 120 degrees
Explanation: In sp3 hybridization (alkanes), the bond angle is 109.5°, while in sp2 (alkenes), it is 120° due to planar geometry.
