← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when molecular p-orbitals hybridize in ethene?
A)Increased sigma bond strength✓
B)Reduced reactivity with nucleophiles
C)Decreased carbon-carbon bond polarity
D)Enhanced pi bond dissociation energy
💡 Explanation
Hybridization causes increased sigma bond strength because sp2 hybridization creates three sigma bonds rather than weaker pi bonds; therefore the sigma bonds are stronger due to the increased s character, rather than altered reactivity or reduced bond polarity due to electronegativity.
