Construct a model of ethene (C₂H4) by joining two carbon atoms with a double bond. Toggle between skeletal and full Lewis structures by clicking the C-H tool. Note the trigonal planar geometry of the bonds around each carbon atom, and that the carbon-carbon double bond has restricted rotation. Observe that the six atoms in ethene all lie in the same plane, and the double bond is a fixed geometry within the molecule. 2. Add a CH3- group to each of the doubly-bonded carbons to create a four-carbon alkene with the double bond between carbons 2 and 3. Note that the CH3- groups can be attached in two different ways: Both CH3- groups on the same side of the fixed geometry of the double bond. The two CH3- groups on opposite sides of the double bond.
