There's a decent page on chemguide on this: https://www.chemguide.co.uk/basicorg/bonding/ethene.html
Basically it's some p orbitals overlapping :smile:

Thanks but I still can’t see the mark scheme. If you scroll down to 12a, only half of the image is visible. I get that’s it’s two p orbitals but I don’t get how to draw it (correct to the mark scheme)
