What is electron configration of ethylene?

The electron configuration of ethylene (C₂H₄) can be derived from its constituent atoms. Each carbon atom has an electron configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p², while hydrogen has a configuration of 1s¹. In ethylene, the two carbon atoms form a double bond using their 2p orbitals, resulting in a molecular structure with a total of 12 valence electrons: (1s² 2s² 2p²) for each carbon and (1s¹) for each hydrogen.
