How many degenerate sp2 orbitals are there?

Answer 1

Each of the carbons makes two covalent bonds with hydrogen by overlapping of s and #sp^2# orbitals, with bond angle 120°, trigonal planar, so there are 3 degenerate oribitals.

A #pi# bond is formed between the carbons perpendicular to the molecular plane, due to 2p–2p overlap.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
