Questions & Answers

QUESTION:

Describe each highlighted bond in terms of the overlap of atomic orbitals.

ANSWER:

Key concepts

Sigma bond ()

Formed by the linear overlapping of atomic orbitals.

pi bond ()

Formed by the lateral overlapping of atomic orbitals.

Single bonds are considered as  bonds and in case of a double bond, there is  bond and the other is  bond.

 bond is formed by the overlapping of hybrid orbitals of each carbon atom and the  bond is formed by overlapping the unhybridized orbital of each carbon atom.

Step 1 of 10

We need to describe each highlighted bond in terms of the overlap of atomic orbitals.
