A Double Bond as Sigma Plus Pi

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A double bond consists of exactly one sigma bond from hybrid-orbital overlap plus one pi bond from leftover unhybridized p-orbital overlap.

Show

Ethylene's carbon-carbon double bond is one sp²-sp² sigma bond plus one pi bond from the remaining unhybridized p orbitals.

Watch for

A double bond's second bond is always a pi bond, never a second sigma bond; two atoms share only one overlap axis.
