The drawing below shows the overlap of two hybrid orbitals to form a bond in a hydrocarbon.

(a) Which of the following types of bonds is being formed:

(i) \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C} \sigma\),

(ii) \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C} \pi\), or

(iii) \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H} \sigma\)?

(b) Which of the following could be the identity of the hydrocarbon:

(i) \(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\),

(ii) \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}\),

(iii) \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}\), or

(iv) \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}\)? [Section 9.6]
