Product Description
The simplest molecule with a carbon-carbon bond is ethane, C2H6. In ethane (CH3CH3), both carbons are sp3-hybridized, meaning that both have four bonds with tetrahedral geometry. An sp3 orbital of one carbon atom overlaps end to end with an sp3 orbital of the second carbon atom to form a carbon-carbon σ bond. This orbital overlap is often described using the notation: sp3(C)-sp3(C). Each of the remaining sp3 hybrid orbitals overlaps with the s orbital of a hydrogen atom to form carbon–hydrogen σ bonds.
