Alkenes show weakly polar property because of

Correct answer: B. Sp² hybridization

  • A. Sp³ hybridization
  • B. Sp² hybridization
  • C. Sp hybridization
  • D. Dsp² hybridization

Explanation

Alkenes exhibit weakly polar properties because of their sp² hybridization, which results from the presence of a double bond. This double bond causes a slight imbalance in electron distribution, leading to a weakly polar nature. The other options are incorrect as they refer to different hybridization types found in alkanes, alkynes, or transition metals, which are not directly related to the polar properties of alkenes.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
