Question
### Understanding Chemical Bonds: Orbital Overlaps

#### Question 1: What type of bond results from the side-on overlap of orbitals?

- The image shows two sets of overlapping orbitals, visually depicted as two pairs of purple lobes aligned side by side.

**Options:**
- ○ σ (sigma) bond
- ○ π (pi) bond
- ○ hydrogen bond
- ○ ionic bond

#### Question 2: What type of bond results from the end-on overlap of orbitals?

- The image depicts overlapping orbitals as a series of purple lobes aligned end-to-end.

**Options:**
- ○ σ (sigma) bond
- ○ hydrogen bond
- ○ π (pi) bond
- ○ ionic bond

### Explanation of Concepts

- **Side-on Overlap:** Typically results in a π (pi) bond, where the overlapping p orbitals share electrons.
  
- **End-on Overlap:** Usually results in a σ (sigma) bond, formed by the direct overlap of orbitals like s-s, s-p, or head-to-head p-p orbitals.

These diagrams serve as a visual aid to understanding the differences in orbital overlap and the types of chemical bonds they form.
