Interpretation:
The properties of sigma and pi bonds need to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Sigma bonds are made by the axial overlapping of half-filled atomic orbitals of atoms.
On the other hand, Pi bonds result from the lateral overlapping of the half-filled atomic orbitals of atoms.
Answer to Problem 11SSC
The overlapping of atomic orbitals from different sides and different extent brings other differences in symmetry and shape.
Explanation of Solution
SIGMA BONDS | PI BONDS |
This can be formed by axial overlap of |
This can be formed by sideways overlap of |
Thus, overlapping of atomic orbitals from different sides and different extent brings other differences in symmetry and shape.
