Question
Which bond in a carbon-carbon double bond is stronger?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The sigma (σ) bond is formed by end-to-end overlap of orbitals, which is more effective and results in a stronger bond than the pi (π) bond, which is formed by side-by-side overlap.
Hint
Sigma bonds have direct, head-on orbital overlap, leading to higher electron density between nuclei.
