← ScienceWhich hybridization change occurs because a carbon atom bonds?
A)sp3 to sp2 occurs✓
B)Increased pi orbital overlap
C)Hydrogen bond number drops
D)Sigma bond electrons localize
💡 Explanation
Conversion from having only single bonds to including a double transforms a carbon atom from an sp3 to sp2 hybridization because forming a pi bond reduces the number of sigma bonds available, therefore decreasing steric crowding around involved carbons rather than other bonding changes.
