Question

No of pi and sigma bond in structure of preocxyisulphuric acid

Answer 1

Dear student!

Sigma (σ) bond : When a bond is formed between two atoms by the overlap of their atomic orbitals along the internuclear axis (i.e. end to end or head on overlap) then the bond formed are called as sigma bond.

In simple meanings the orbitals should be placed so that they lie in internuclear axis.

For ex: s-s overlap  or s-pz overlap (as pz lie along the internuclear axis) or pz-pzoverlaps



Pi (π) bond: It is a bond formed by lateral  (i.e. sideways) overlap of two p orbitals , i.e the overlapping of p-orbitals in a direction which is right angles to the internuclear axis.

Ex:
