1
Q
Saturated or unsaturated?
A
Unsaturated
2
Q
Pi or sigma bonds?
A
3/4 electrons have sigma bonds
1/4 electrons has a pi bond
3
Q
What does the pi bond do?
A
locks the 2 carbon atoms in position and prevents them from rotating around the double bond
4
Q
Shape around a double bond?
A
Trigonal planar
3 regions of electron density around each of the carbon atoms
3 regions repel as far apart as possible- bond angle = 120
5
Q
What is a pi bond?
A
The sideways overlap of 2 p orbitals
6
Q
Why is the shape and bonding that way?
A
Trigonal planar
3 regions of electron density around the carbon atoms
3 regions repel eachother as far apart as possible
120 degrees
