NEETChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
Which of the following gives the correct difference between sigma and pi bonds?
Options
- AA sigma bond is formed by the head-on overlap of atomic orbitals, while a pi bond is formed by the side-to-sid
- BA sigma bond is formed by the side-to-side overlap of atomic orbitals, while a pi bond is formed by the head-o
- CA sigma bond involves the sharing of electrons between two different atoms, while a pi bond involves the shari
- DA sigma bond is always stronger than a pi bond in a covalent molecule.
Correct answer
A. A sigma bond is formed by the head-on overlap of atomic orbitals, while a pi bond is formed by the side-to-sid
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) A sigma bond is formed by the head-on overlap of atomic orbitals, while a pi bond is formed by the side-to-side overlap of atomic orbitals.
