Answer:
hope it is helpful to uhh
Answer:
Sigma bond Pi bond
(1) Coaxial overlap results in
the formation of sigma bond. (1) Lateral overlap
results in the
formation of pi
bond.
(2) Extent of overlap is
larger which results in
formation of stronger bond. (2) Extent of overlap
is smaller which
results in formation
of weaker bond.
(3) The molecular orbital
is continuous. It has
symmetry around the
internuclear axis. (3) The molecular
orbital is discontinuous
and posses two
charge clouds above
and below the
internuclear axis.
(4) Free rotation of atoms
about sigma bond is
possible. (4) Free rotation of
atoms about pi bond
is not possible.
