Answer: sp3.
- A sp
- B sp2
- C sp3
- D dsp2
Correct answer: C. sp3
Explanation: Carbon in methane forms four sigma bonds, so it undergoes sp3 hybridisation.
Geometric (cis-trans) isomers of 1,2-dichloroethene differ only in the relative arrangement of groups across the rigid C=C double bond.
Concept context
General Organic Chemistry covers the rules behind all organic reactions. Covers inductive effect, resonance, hyperconjugation, types of reactions (substitution, addition, elimination), and isomerism including optical and geometric forms.
