Interpretation:
Defining Pi bonds.
Concept Interpretation:
Covalent bonds of the kinds sigma and pi differ in how their overlapping atomic orbitals are arranged. Through the overlapping of these atomic orbitals, covalent bonds are created.
Answer to Problem 59A
Pi bonds are covalent
Explanation of Solution
Pi-bond is formed by the side-by-side overlap of two half-filled
Due to less overlapping, pi bonds are often weaker than sigma bonds. It is significant to remember that a sigma-pi bond combination is always stronger than a single sigma bond.
Hence, the pi-bond is formed by the side-by-side overlap of two half-filled
