Question

number of pπ -pπ bonds present in SO3 molecule is

a. Zero
b. 1
c. 2
d. 3​ ​

Answer 1

SO3 has 3 pπ-pπ bonds, so the correct  answer is an option (d) 3

What is a PΠ PΠ bonding?

• In this kind of bonding, one atom's p-orbital overlaps sideways with the p-orbital of another atom, forming a -bond known as a p-p-bond. For instance, C = O and C N.

• P-P bonding is most frequently seen with second-row elements since it includes the lateral overlapping of p-orbitals (C, N, O). Because the larger atoms' cores preclude enough -overlap, heavier element combinations with -bonds are uncommon.
