Detailed Solution

Each carbon atom in ethylene is attached to two hydrogen atoms by single covalent bonds and to another carbon atoms by a double bond. Since each carbon is attached to three other atoms. it uses sp2 hybrid orbitals and an unhybridized px orbital to form its bond. Each C-H bond is a σ bond resulting from the overlap of 1s orbital of hydrogen atom and sp2 orbital of a carbon atom. One C-C bond results from the linear overlap of sp2 orbitals one from each carbon atom. One π bond results from the lateral overlap of two unhybridized Pz orbitals. one from each carbon atom.
