Answer:
Covalent
Explanation:
A molecule of C₂H₅OH has C-C, C-H, C-O, and O-H bonds.
A bond between A and B will be ionic if the difference between their electronegativities (ΔEN) is greater than 1.6.
No bond has a large enough ΔEN to be ionic.
C₂H₅OH is a covalent molecule.
Explanation:
It is known that atomic number of carbon is 6 and its electronic configuration is . This means that in its neutral state it contains 2 electrons in its s-orbital and 2 electrons in its p-orbital.
After excitation there will be one electron present in its s-orbital and three electrons present in p-orbital.
Therefore, after the hybridization there will be in total 2 sp hybrid orbitals, 2 p-orbitals and zero s-orbital.
