Pi Bond The unhybridized p orbitals on each carbon align parallel to form a nt bond. The n bond prevents rotation about the C-C bond because it would force the p orbitals into a non overlapping formation (i.e.break the nt bond). CH H CH3 CH CH no overlap with the ends perpendicular ran The nt bond exists with half its electron density above the o bond,and half below.
