True Double bond

  Top

Double (= pi ) bond is unrealistic

[ Two electrons "repel" each other, NOT forming pi bond ! ]

(Fig.1)  Ethene carbon double bond ( H2-C=C-H2 ) is NOT "pi" bond !

Quantum mechanics claims that carbon double bond ( C=C ) is caused by pi bond between two parallel electrons.

But in fact, this "pi bond" model in quantum mechanics cannot form actual stable bond, because two negative electrons repel and avoid each other !

So orbitals of these two repulsive electrons tend to avoid lining up side by side parallel to each other !  This model doesn't describe reality.

Double bond in quantum mechanics is unreal

[ Electrons repel each other, cannot form stable pi bond ! ]

(Fig.2)  Unrealistic double (= pi ) C=C bond in quantum mechanics ↓

Quantum mechanics claims that double bonds such as C=C consist of parallel π bond with a pair of two opposite spins.

This model clearly ignores Coulomb repulsion among electrons, so wrong.  Schrodinger equation cannot handle multi-electron atoms.

Quantum mechanics just chooses fake trial functions also in double bonds, so useless forever.

True molecular bond model has to obey two important conditions, Coulomb force and de Broglie waves in valence electrons.

Electron spinning far exceeds light speed !

[ Spinning speed of "point"-like electron is much faster than light ! ]

(Fig.3)  Point-like electron ( radius r → 0 ), rotation v → ∞

Angular momentum is given by mv × r ( v = velocity, r = radius ).
Electron spin also has angular momentum 1/2ħ, they claim

The problem is an electron is very tiny, point-like.
The point-like particle means its radius r is almost zero.

So to get the angular momentum 1/2ħ, the electron spinning must far exceed light speed ( this p.5, this )

So the electron spin lacks reality.
Even Pauli ridiculed the idea of "spinning electron".

But in "s" orbital of Schrodinger's hydrogen, this electron spin is the only generator of magnetic moment.

So they had no choice but to accept this strange spin ( Not as real spinning and speed ).

Electron spin failed in describing "real" bonds.

[ Spin is used just as "mark", irrelevant to its actual magnetic property. ]

(Fig.4)  ↓ Spin magnetism has nothing to do with molecules !

Electron spin was originally defined as "tiny magnet", though its "spinning" speed far exceeds light speed c.

Its spin-spin magnetic interaction is too weak to explain actual phenomena such as Pauli exclusion principle and ferromagnetism.

So too weak spin has nothing to do with molecular bond !  In fact, spin is used only as "mark" to distinguish different spectra, ignoring its actual magnetic property.

2 × de Broglie wavelength → maximum 4 orbits

[ Neon consists of 8 electrons in 4 orbits with 2 × wavelength. ]

(Fig.5)  All opposite wave phases just cross each other in Neon

This page shows that de Broglie wavelength detemines the number of valence electrons.  Neon, carbon, oxygen have 2 × de Broglie wavelength orbits.

Neon contains eight valence electrons.  Neon belongs to the 2nd line in periodic table, meaning its orbit is 2 × de Broglie wavelength.

When just two 2 × de Broglie wavelenght orbits cross each other (= Fig.5 upper ), some electrons are free from their opposite wave phases.

With four orbits, all electrons and their opposite wave phases cross each other, forming stable noble gas Neon with no more room.

Carbon includes four pairs of electron and "hole"

[ Carbon's four valence electrons form "tetrahedral" structure. ]

(Fig.6)  Carbon (= C ) is 4 electrons and "holes" in 4 orbits.

When each 2 × de Broglie wavelength orbit includes one electron and one hole, it generates four "holes".  This is carbon (= C ) atom.

Carbon consisting of four valence electrons form tetrahedral structure with bond angle 109.5o.

Carbon - carbon bond is formed by electron-hole pair

(Fig.7)  In C-C bond, an electron synchronize with another hole.

Without unrealistic spins, how is each molecular bond formed ?   Considering Coloumb repulsion among electrons, an electron tends to approach "vacant hole".

So a pair of a valence electron and a hole ( inside other orbits ) is a true figure of molecular bond.

Also in carbon-carbon ( C-C ) bond, electons are thought to aim at stable hexahedral structure like Neon by electron-hole pairs.

Furthermore, for each electron to keep stable, an electron has to enter the place of the "same wave phase".  A vacant hole meets this condition, too.

C=C double bond can be explained by "tetrahedral" carbons.

(Fig.8)  In C=C bond, two electron-hole pairs are formed.

In C=C double bond, two electron-hole pairs are formed between two carbons.

In Fig.8, "e1" and "e3" electrons of carbon 2 approach correspondent holes of carbon 1, and make Neon-like hexahedral structure.

Comparing Fig.7 and Fig.8, you will easily find C=C bond is shorter than C-C bond.

Stronger internuclear repulsions of C=C can be "neutralized" by "in-between" electrons.

(Fig.9)  "e1" ( and "e2" ) electrons pass "midpoint" between two nuclei.

As two carbon nuclei are closer to each other, their repulsive Coulomb force becomes stronger.
To cancel this nuclear repulsion, each electron must enter between C = C nuclei.

Considering actual orbit of each electron, you find "e1" and "e2" electrons pass the midpoint between two nuclei periodically, which can cancel stronger internuclear repulsion.

Oxygen-oxygen double bond ( O = O )

[ "Pais of hole and electron" form double bond in oxygen. ]

(Fig.10)  True oxygen orbits of 2 × de Broglie wavelength with two holes

The destructive interference between opposite phases in de Broglie wave determines the number of valence electrons in all atoms.

Oxygen consists of 4 orbits of 2 × de Broglie wavelength with two holes.

A pair of a hole and a valence electron forms a molecular bond.  Double bonds includes two pairs of holes and electrons.  This model is realistic.

Different from carbon where the half is holes and another half is electrons, oxygen has more electrons than holes, which increases repulsion among electrons.

This is the reason why C=C bond energy is bigger (= stable ) than that of O=O.
