  • The greater electron density associated with the double bond means it repulses other electron clouds with a greater force. for example in the methanal molecule there are 2 C-H bonds and one C=O bond. The bond angle H-C-H is less than 120 degrees because of the extra repulsion from the more electron dense C=O
