How a Double Bond Is Formed The Bonds in Ethene

All single bonds found in organic compounds are sigma bonds. [Pg.31]

End-on overlap of two sp orbitals to form a a- bonding molecular orbital and a o- antibonding molecular orbital. [Pg.31]

What orbitals are used to form the 10 sigma bonds in propane (CH3CH2CH3) [Pg.31]

Explain why a a bond formed by overlap of an s orbital with an sp orbital of carbon is stronger than a cr bond formed by overlap of an s orbital with a p orbital of carbon. [Pg.31]

Each of the carbon atoms in ethene (also called ethylene) forms four bonds, but each carbon is bonded to only three atoms [Pg.31]
