Question
**Sigma Bonding**

A σ bond arises from the straight-on overlap of two atomic orbitals. The electron density lies along the axis of the two bonded nuclei.

**Images and Explanation:**
1. **sp³ hybrid orbital and 1s orbital overlap**: This shows an example of a sigma bond formation with an sp³ hybrid orbital of carbon and a 1s orbital of hydrogen.
2. **Example: Sigma Bonding in methane, CH₄**: This diagram demonstrates the tetrahedral structure of methane where carbon forms four sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.

**Questions:**

1. **What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the sigma bond between Cl and F in chlorine trifluoride, ClF₃?**
   - ______ orbital on Cl + ______ orbital on F

2. **What are the approximate F-Cl-F bond angles? (list all possible)**
   - ______ °
