What does the weak π bond consist of in ethene?
Options
- ATwo equal electron clouds above and below the carbon and hydrogen atoms' plane
- BTwo equal electron clouds in the same plane as carbon and hydrogen atoms
- CA single electron cloud above the carbon and hydrogen atoms' plane
- DA single electron cloud below the carbon and hydrogen atoms' plane
Correct answer
A. Two equal electron clouds above and below the carbon and hydrogen atoms' plane
Step-by-step solution
The weak π bond in ethene consists of two equal electron clouds distributed above and below the plane of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
