MCQ

The angle between $s{p^2}$orbitals in ethylene is......$^o$

A
${90}$
✓
${120}$
C
${180}$
D
${109.5}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

${120}$

b
The three equivalent $sp ^2$ orbitals will arrange themselves in a trigonal planar configuration. That is to say, the carbon nucleus will be at the center of an equilateral triangle, and the three $sp ^2$ orbitals will point to the corners of that triangle. The ideal angle between $sp ^2$ orbitals is therefore $120^{\circ}$.
