  a sigma bond formed by overlap of two s orbitals and two pi bonds, each formed by lateral overlap of two p orbitals.
  C)
  a sigma bond formed by end-on overlap of two sp2 orbitals and a pi bond formed by lateral overlap of two p orbitals.
  D)
  two pi bonds, each formed by lateral overlap of two p orbitals, and a sigma bond formed by end-on overlap of two sp orbitals.
  E)
  two pi bonds, each formed by end-on overlap of two p orbitals, and a sigma bond formed by lateral overlap of two sp orbitals.

Did you know?

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

Did you know?

IgA antibodies protect body surfaces exposed to outside foreign substances. IgG antibodies are found in all body fluids. IgM antibodies are the first type of antibody made in response to an infection. IgE antibody levels are often high in people with allergies. IgD antibodies are found in tissues lining the abdomen and chest.

Did you know?

Pubic lice (crabs) are usually spread through sexual contact. You cannot catch them by using a public toilet.

Did you know?

Adults are resistant to the bacterium that causes Botulism. These bacteria thrive in honey – therefore, honey should never be given to infants since their immune systems are not yet resistant.
