Sigma and Pi bond question
For C2H4 a Carbon Carbon double bond why is the sigma bond (C2sp^3,C2sp^3) and the Pi bond (C2P, C2P)?

Re: Sigma and Pi bond question
Hi,
The sigma bond should be Csp2-Csp2, not Csp3-Csp3. Each 3 has 3 regions of e- density so there are 3 hybrid orbitals for each C. They also each has an unhybridized p orbital that forms a pi bond with each other.
Hope this helps!
