Which pairs of orbitals overlap to form the double bond in the molecule shown below? [Select all that apply:] p-p s-sp³ s-sp sp²-sp² s-sp²

Another version of this configuration is shown below. In this picture, the sp³ hybrid orbitals on carbon are sketched, with their sigma bonds to hydrogen already in place. Then, the sigma bond between the two carbons is illustrated. Draw similar combinations of carbon orbitals to form each C-C bond in ethene and ethyne on the back of this page. Hint: you will need to include both a hybridized orbital and at least one unhybridized p orbital for each carbon fragment.
