Why are double bonds and peptide bonds more rigid than single bonds?
Homework Answers
Ans :
Double bonds are the covalent bonds that are formed by sharing of two electrons.
The strength of bond is inversely related to the bond length. The double bond is shorter in length than the single bond and hence more rigid.
The peptide bond is also a covalent bond that has a little double bond character and hence also rigid but less than double bond.

Why are double bonds and triple bonds shorter than single bonds?
1. Why are double bonds and triple bonds shorter than single bonds? 2. VSEPR geometry predicts that the bond angles in formaldehyde (CH20), a trigonal planar molecule, will be 120° throughout all three angles. However, analysis showed that the H-C-H bond angle is slightly smaller at 116.5°, while the two H-C-O angles are slightly larger at 121.8°. Explain this difference in the predicted bond angle vs actual bond angle. 3. VSEPR geometry also predicts that the bond angles in tetrahedral molecules is...

A. Double bonds that are connected by a single bond are said to be conjugated. For each molecule below, indicate how many conjugated double bonds are present in each molecule. HO OH bro HO B. One feature that distinguishes conjugated dienes from isolated dienes is that the C-C bond joining the two double bonds is unusually short. For each of the molecules in Part A, indicate which C-C single bond(s) might be shorter than expected. C. Some reactions of conjugated...
