where can I find a picture of the molecular orbital diagram for the carbon carbon double bond?

Question

I need to know how to draw it and label sigma and pi bonds, as well as hybridizations.

Answer 1

well, the hybridization can only be sp2, or sp.

if you have an organic chemistry textbook (any), you will be able to find it in the hybridization section - as this is required text to conform with standards for teaching.

basically, p orbitals lie perpindicular to the sigma bond, and pi electrons are shared through a big cloud in between both carbons. remember that pi electrons are of less energy than sigma, and therefore are more readily attacked. sigma electrons are very tightly held to the carbon, and thus a pain in the rear to rip away. Therefore, almost exclusively the reactions involving carbon happen with the pi electrons. Hoep this helps =)

Try Google.
