Explain why a o bond formed by overlap of an s orbital with an sp orbital of carbon is stronger than a o bond formed by overlap of an s orbital with a p orbital of carbon. Because s orbital of carbon is more symmetrical than p orbital of carbon atom. The electron density of the large lobe of an sp orbital is less than the electron density of a lobe of a p orbital. Therefore, the overlap of an s orbital with an sp orbital forms a weaker bond than the overlap of an orbital with ap orbital. The electron density of the large lobe of an sp orbital is less than the electron density of a lobe of a p orbital. Therefore, the overlap of an s orbital with an sp3 orbital forms a stronger bond than the overlap of an s orbital with a p orbital. The electron density of the large lobe of an sp orbital is greater than the electron density of a lobe of ap orbital. Therefore, the overlap of an s orbital with an sp orbital forms a stronger bond than the overlap of an s orbital with ap orbital.

Which statements accurately describe sigma bonds? Sigma bonds can only result from the overlap of two p orbitals. Sigma bonds only form when regions of orbitals with different signs overlap. Sigma bonds are symmetric about the internuclear axis. Sigma bonds result from the overlap of orbitals in only one region of space. Sigma bonds result from the overlap of orbitals in two regions of space. Sigma bonds cannot rotate without interfering with orbital overlap. A sigma bond could result from the sideways (as opposed to head-on) overlap of two p orbitals. Sigma bonds only form when regions of orbitals with the same sign overlap.
