The side by side overlap of p orbitals produces what kind of bond?
pi bond
What are the characteristic hybrid orbitals employed by carbon in a double bond in an alkene?
sp^2
How many pi bonds are formed when sp2 hybridization occurs in ethene C2H4?
The two parallel p orbitals form one pi bond in an sp2 hybridization.
Why sigma bond is formed?
By the overlap of atomic orbitals. In valence bond theory these atomic orbitals may be s, p or d orbitals or "hybrids" such as sp3. This is a complex area and the above is a very simple explanation.
Does NH3 has sp3 orbital hybridization?
Yes it does. three of the sp3 orbitals are used to bond to the three Hydrogens. the fourth sp3 orbital is used to hold the lone pair of electrons (of the nitrogen)
In C2H4 what are the atomic orbitals that participate in forming the sigma bond between the C and H atoms?
sp3 sp3 orbitals overlap Could you please explain why? :) Thank you!!

Which bond is more strong either sigma or pi?
A pi bond is a weaker bond as compare to sigma bond, because pi bond is formed by a minimum overlapping of the orbitals and depends upon length of sigma bond.
A bond forms when two atomic or hybrid orbitals overlap to form a single bond A bond forms when two p orbitals overlap in a double or triple bond?
sigma, pi
What is the difference of a sigma bond and a pi bond?
A sigma bond is the end-to-end overlap of the bonding orbitals, usually hybrid orbitals. The sigma bond is a single bond. A pi bond is the side-to-side overlap of unhybridized p-orbitals. A pi bond, along with a sigma bond form a double bond. sigma bond is used in hybridization but pi bond when dealing with saturated molecules is not used,that is double bonds.The oygen molecule is sp hybridized have you ever reasoned or found out why.
How many pi bond in h2o?
You can think of pi bonds in the terms of pi electrons as well which will become more important in terms of aromaticity. A Triple bond has 1 sigma bond & 2 pi bonds. There are 6 electrons in a triple bond; 2 sigma electrons and 4 pi electrons. The two unhybridized p orbitals on each atom on either side of the triple bond are perpendicular to each other. So, if you are trying to determine the number of pi electrons in an aromatic monocyclic compound and you have an uninterrupted combination of sp & sp2 orbitals (sp3 does not have p orbitals), whenever you come across a triple bond you would add 4 pi electrons and for a double bond you would add 2 pi electrons. The important thing to remember though is if the question asks for the number of electrons delocalized in the ring because of the aforementioned p orbitals in a triple bond being perpendicular only 2 of the 4 available pi electrons would delocalize in the ring. The really dirty trick is that Huckel's rule applies to electrons in the cloud, delocalized electrons.
What atomic or hybrid orbital on O makes up the sigma bond between O and H in water H2O?
Oxygen atoms in water form sp3 hybridized orbitals. This configuration of bond angles and bond lengths between the electron pairs and hydrogen atoms on oxygen allow for the least strain.
