The H-C-H bond angle in ethylene and H-C-C bond angle in ethane is
Accepted Answer
The H-C-H bond angle in ethylene is approximately 117.5 degrees, while the H-C-C bond angle in ethane is approximately 109.5 degrees. This difference is due to the presence of a double bond in ethylene, which creates a planar geometry around the carbon atom, leading to a larger bond angle. Ethane has a tetrahedral geometry around the carbon atom, resulting in a smaller bond angle.
