Which of the following statements is incorrect for sigma and pi-bonds formed between two carbon atoms ?
- Sigma-bond is stronger than a pi-bond
- Bond energies of sigma and pi-bonds are of the order of 264 kJ/mol and 347 kJ/mol
- Free rotation of surrounding atoms about a sigma-bond is allowed but not in case of a pi-bond
- Sigma-bond determines the direction between carbon atoms but a pi-bond has no primary effect in this regard
Answer
(B) Bond energies of sigma and pi-bonds are of the order of 264 kJ/mol and 347 kJ/mol
