What is the orientation of the p orbitals with respect to the plane of the H 2 C=CH 2 molecule?
Options
- AThe p orbitals are parallel to the plane.
- BThe p orbitals are perpendicular to the plane.
- CThe p orbitals are at a 45-degree angle to the plane.
- DThe p orbitals are at a 60-degree angle to the plane.
Correct answer
B. The p orbitals are perpendicular to the plane.
Step-by-step solution
Both the p orbitals are perpendicular to the plane of the H2C=CH2 molecule.
