    The restricted rotation about carbon carbon double bond in 2-butene is due to :

    A) Overlap of one s- and \[s{{p}^{2}}\]-hybridized orbitals.

    B) Overlap of two \[s{{p}^{2}}\]- hybridized orbitals.

    C) Overlap of one p-and one \[s{{p}^{2}}\]-hybridized orbitals.

    D) Sideways overlap of two p-orbitals.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Rotation around \[\pi \] bond is not possible. If any attempt is made to rotate one of the carbon atoms, the lobes of \[\pi \]-orbital will no longer remain coplanar i.e no parallel overlap will be possible and thus \[\pi \]-bond will break. This is known as concept of restricted rotation. In other words the presence of \[\pi \]-bonds makes the position of two carbon atom.
