In formation of ethene, the bond formation between s and p-orbitals takes place in the following manner.
  1. sp2 hybridised orbitals form sigma bond while the unhybridised (px or py) overlaps sidewise to form p-bond.
  2. sp2 hybridised orbitals form p-bond while the unhybridised (pz) overlaps to form s-bond.
  3. sp2 hybridised orbitals overlap with s-orbitals of H atoms while unhybridised orbitals form CC bond.
  4. sp2 hybridised orbitals form sigma bonds with H atoms while unhybridised orbitals form p-bonds between C atoms.

Answer

(D) sp 2 hybridised orbitals form sigma bonds with H atoms while unhybridised orbitals form p -bonds between C atoms.
