Definitions:

Nodes

Points along a standing wave where the wave has minimal amplitude. In quantum mechanics, it refers to points where the probability density of a particle is zero.

Carbon-Carbon

Describes bonds or interactions specifically between carbon atoms within molecules, crucial for organic chemistry.

σ Bonds

Atomic orbitals overlap linearly to form a sigma bond, providing a strong covalent bond between atoms.

Parallel P Orbitals

P orbitals that are oriented in the same spatial direction, allowing overlap and sharing of electrons between atoms, contributing to the formation of pi bonds in molecules.
