Answer:
C₂Cl₄
Explanation:
To know if free rotation around a bond in a compound is possible, we need to see the structure of the compound (picture in attachment).
In single bonds, which are formed by σ bonds, the atoms are not fixed in a single position, and free rotation is permitted.
Double and triple bonds are formed by a σ bond and one or two π bonds, respectively. These bonds do not allow rotation, since it is not possible to twist the ends without breaking the π bond.
The chloroethylene (C₂Cl₄) has two carbons with an sp2-sp2 hybridization, they are bonded together by a double bond. <u>Free rotation on this bond is not possible, because six atoms, including the carbon atoms, doubly bonded and the four chlorine atoms bonded to them, must be on the same plane. </u>
