- Carbon atoms in a C=C double bond and other atoms all lie in the same plane (planar)
- Atoms can't rotate around the double bond because of the way the p orbitals overlap to form a pi bond. Double bonds are fairly rigid, they don't bend much either.
- Even though atoms can't rotate around the double bond, things can still rotate around any single bonds in the molecule
- The restricted rotation around the double bond is…
