Trigonal Planar Electron Group Geometry Methanal (Formaldehyde) Ethene (Ethylene) 120 o Perfect Trigonal Planar Arrangement
Bond Angles Deviate From 120 o Methanal (Formaldehyde)Ethene (Ethylene)
Two Models for Ethene
Sigma Bonding Orbital Between C Atoms in Ethene
Pi Bonding Orbital Formation at C Atoms in Ethene
The Double Bond in Ethene sigma orbital for first part of bond pi orbital for second part of bond
The Sigma Framework in Ethene
The Pi Bond in Ethene
The 5 Sigma and 1 Pi Bonding Orbitals in Ethene
Isomerism Same number, kind of atoms Different connectivity Non-superimposable mirror images Same connectivity but different spatial arrangement e.g., cis,trans Isomers Structural Isomers Stereoisomers Geometric Isomers Optical Isomers Conformational Isomers Interconvert by sigma bond rotation
Cis-Trans Isomerism Trans Cis Interconversion Requires Breaking the Pi Bond
Conformational Isomerism Interconversion Requires Only Sigma Bond Rotation Same Molecule, Just Different Rotations 1,2-dichloroethane
