Ethylene is converted to ethane in the presence of $$Ni$$ at $$300^{0}C$$ . In this reaction the hybridization of carbon changes from :

A$$sp$$ to $$sp^{2}$$
B$$sp^{2}$$ to $$sp^{3}$$
Correct Answer
C$$sp^{3}$$ to $$sp$$
D$$sp$$ to $$sp^{3}$$

Solution

In ethylene $$C_2H_4$$, $$C$$ atom is $$sp^2$$ hybridised In ethane $$C_2H_6$$, $$C$$ atom is $$sp^3$$ hybridised as it does not contain double bonds Option B is correct.
