Hybridization in ethene

When a carbon is involved in a double bond (alkenes, carbonyls etc.), three of four orbitals are ${sp^2}$-hybridized, because the double bond consists of one $\pi$-bond and one $\sigma$-bond. … When a carbon is involved in a triple bond (alkynes, nitriles etc.) two of four orbitals are ${sp}$-hybridized, because the triple bond consists of two $\pi$-bonds and one $\sigma$-bond. …
