Multiple Choice

How do π\pi bond electrons differ from σ\sigma bond electrons in C == C bonds?


A) π\pi bond electrons are located along the bond axis, and σ\sigma bond electrons are located above and below the plane of the bond axis.
B) π\pi bond electrons are more tightly bound that σ\sigma bond electrons thus explaining why double bonds are stronger than single bonds.
C) σ\sigma bond electrons dominate the reactivity patterns of ethylene as they are more readily accessible.
D) σ\sigma bond electrons are located along the bond axis, and π\pi bond electrons are located above and below the plane of the bond axis.
E) Both kinds of electrons are essentially equivalent.
