Question

Provide a molecular orbital diagram for trans−hex−3−ene and label all σ and π bonds. Determine and explain whether there will be a free rotation around the C₃−C₄ bond or none.

Skeletal structure of trans-hex-3-ene showing C3-C4 bond.

Accepted Answer

There will be no free rotation around the C3−C4 bond due to the presence of a pi bond.
