Multiple Bonds (Section)(a) If the valence atomic orbitals
Chapter 5, Problem 60E(choose chapter or problem)
(a) If the valence atomic orbitals of an atom are sp hybridized, how many unhybridized p orbitals remain in the valence shell? How many \(\pi\) bonds can the atom form?
(b) Imagine that you could hold two atoms that are bonded together, twist them, and not change the bond length. Would it be easier to twist (rotate) around a single \(\sigma\) bond or around a double (\(\sigma\) plus \(\pi\)) bond, or would they be the same? Explain.
