Question

why is sigma bond stronger than pi bond
​

Answer 1

Ello user !!!!!!!

Here is your answer,

=====================================

Pi bonds are usually weaker than sigma bonds.

Quantum mechanics says this is because the orbital paths are parallel so there is much less overlap between the p-orbitals.

Pi bonds happen when two atomic orbitals are in contact through two areas of overlap.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOUU :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Sigma bonding is stronger than Pi bonding due to the linear overlapping of orbitals occurs in sigma bonding.

Explanation:

Sigma bonding is more stronger than Pi bonding because there is linear overlapping of orbitals in sigma and hence the electron density is maximum among the nuclei of the bonded atoms.

in case of Pi bond the parallel overlapping of orbitals takes place and electron density round the nuclei is low hence it is weak.
