Carbon atoms in ethane are --- hybridized?
Correct answer: A. sp3
- A. sp3
- B. sp2
- C. sp
- D. sp3d
Explanation
The carbon atom in ethane forms 4 bonds with hydrogen atoms showing tetrahedral geometry. Hence exhibit sp3 hybridization.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
