Per NCERT §8.2.2, rotation about a C=C double bond in ethene (H₂C=CH₂) is best described as which?
ARandom
BRestricted
CFaster than C-C
DFree
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Restricted
NCERT §8.2.2: π bond requires parallel p-orbital overlap; rotating one CH₂ would break the π bond, so rotation is restricted.
