Question

The nodal plane in the π - bond of ethene is located in :

Options

A.the molecular plane
B.a plane parallel to the molecular plane
C.a plane perpendicular to the molecular plane which bisets the carbon -carbon σ - bond at right angle
D.a plane perpendicular to the molecular plane which contains the carbon-carbon σ - bond

Solution

       or       
π - bond is formed by lateral overlapping between p-orbitals of C-atoms. These p-obitals are perpendicular to the plane of sp2 hybrid or orbitals or molecular plane .It does not contain any π - electron density and thus nodal plane lies along the molecular plane for π - electron
