• A. C in $C_2H_2$
• B. C in $C_2H_4$
• C. C in $CH_4$
• D. C in $CO_2$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

C in $C_2H_4$

Answer 2

A description of the hybridization of $SO _{3}$ including sigma and pi bonds. The $SO _{3}$ hybridization is $SP ^{2}$ for the central sulphur atom. The hybridization of $C$ in $C _{2} H _{4}$ is $SP ^{2}$.
