    Study Notes

    Sigma and Pi Bonds

    • Sigma bonds result from end-to-end overlap of atomic orbitals, including hybrid orbitals.
    • All single bonds between atoms are classified as sigma bonds.
    • In double and triple bonds, the initial bond formed is always a sigma bond, while additional bonds differ in type.
    • Pi bonds arise from the sideways overlap of 'p' orbitals, contributing to the bond formation in specific scenarios.
    • Pi bonds are exclusively present in double and triple bonds; they cannot exist in single bonds.
    • A double bond consists of one sigma bond and one pi bond, creating a stronger bond due to the combination of both types.
    • A triple bond contains one sigma bond and two pi bonds, resulting in an even stronger interaction between the bonded atoms.
    • Identifying sigma and pi bonds in molecules requires examining the bond types present within the structure.
