Carbon-carbon double bonds do not freely rotate like carbon-carbon single bonds. Why?
A) The double bond is much stronger and thus more difficult to rotate.
B) Overlap of the two 2p orbitals of the π bond would be lost.
C) The shorter bond length of the double bond makes it more difficult for the attached groups to pass each other.
D) Overlap of the sp2 orbitals of the carbon-carbon σ bond would be lost.
