13016 Hydrocarbons16.5.3 StructureThe carbon atoms linked through π-bond are sp 2 hybridized. Therefore, each atom carriesthree sp 2 -hybrids and one p-orbital. The p-orbital overlap to form π-bond and hybrid orbitals formσ-bonds due to linear overlap.σσπσThe carbon-carbon distance in etheneis shorter (1.34A) than the C-C bonddistance of ethane (1.54A). It is due toincreased electron density between carbonatoms.Carbon atoms are coplanar, and therotation of one C-atom with respect to otheris restricted which results in cis-transisomerism in alkene.16.5.4. Preparation of Alkenes1. Dehydration of AlcoholsRemoval of water molecule is called dehydration.ExampleWhen vapours of alcohol are passed over heated alumina, dehydration takes place withthe formation of alkene.P4O10, H2SO4, H3PO4 are also used for dehydration. The ease of dehydration of variousalcohols is in the order.Ter.alcohol > sec.alcohol > pri.alcoholFor secondary alcoholFor tertiary alcohold
