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.
