-
and in a sense they do.
-
If we slice the first one, and turn it,
-
it's oval for the same reason as before;
-
there's a p orbital pointing in and out of the board,
-
and if we look at it below,
-
part of the bond is caused by overlapping,
-
as we'll see, of those p orbitals.
-
So it's got an oval, up and down shape.
-
How about the next one?
-
If we slice it and turn it,
-
it's also oval in cross-section,
-
but perpendicular. Right?
