The discussion of momentum distribution is extended to cover electrons in double bonds and conjugated bonds of fractional order. The mean radial distribution function is obtained, and it shows that the mean momentum of the electrons is less than if they were rigidly attached to their own particular nuclei. Polar diagrams show that, if electronic mobility is high in any direction in a molecule, the momentum is generally small in that direction.
