Q. Identify the correct statement from below, concerning the structure of $CH_{2} = C = CH_{2}$
A) The molecule is planar
B) One of the three carbon atoms is in an-$sp^{3}$hybridised state
C) The molecule is non - planar with the two $–CH_{2}$ groups being in planes perpendicular to each other
D) All the carbon atoms are sp-hybridized
Explanation
(c)
The structure, $CH_{2} = C = CH_{2}$ is non-planar with two $–CH_{2}$ groups being in planes perpendicular to each other.
