Complete the sentences:
Carbon atoms in a C=C double bond and the atoms bonded to these carbons all lie in the same plane (they're ________). The three bonds ________ each other as much as possible and arrange themselves into a ____________ ___________ shape.

TRUE OR FALSE:
In larger alkenes, only the >C=C< unit is planar

In C=C double bonds, the atoms can't rotate around them like they can around single bonds. Why?

Complete the sentences:
Even though atoms can't rotate around the __________ bond, things can still rotate about any _________ bonds in the molecule. The restricted rotation around the C=C double bond is what causes alkenes to form __________________.
