Best Answer

Because the electrons involved in making sigma are supposed to have electr0nic density close to joining lines of two nuclei. Hence nuclei is tightly held. Electrons involved in making pibond are below or above the joining lines. Pi bond is m0re diffused and nucleus is nt held tightly.

no, pi bonds are only found in double and triple bonds. Sigma bonds are the ones in single bonds.


Why pi bonds are more diffused than sigma bonds?

Pi bond is considered to be more diffused than Sigma bonds becauseSigma bonds are shorterProbability of finding an electron in a Sigma bond is greater on the inter-nuclear axis.


Does Sp3 orbitals have a pi bond?

no, hybrid orbitals cant form pi bonds. they can form only sigma bonds


Why a triple bond should not have 2 sigma bonds?

Sigma bonds lie along the bond axis - between any two atoms you can only have one sigma bond along the axis. Triple bonds encountered in organic chemistry have 1 sigma and two pi bonds( pi bons are "at right angles" to one another and the electron density is between the atoms but does not lie along the bond axis.


What is the difference between single covalent bonds and multiple covalent bonds?

In a single bond there is only a strong sigma bond on the other hand in multiple bond there is a sigma & one or two pi bond, weaker than sigma, which provied addition reactions in a molecule.


How many C-O pi bonds are in water?

None. Water does contains only hydrogen and oxygen, so there is no carbon. Further more, all the bonding in water is sigma bonding; there is no pi bonding.


How many bonds are present in one double bond and one single bond?

There is a sigma and a pi bond in a double bond.Single bond has only a sigma bond.


What is the total number of bonds in a glycine molecule?

There are a total of 10 bonds (9 sigma and 1 pi) Glycine only have single bonds except between one of the Oxygen's and one of the carbons were the species will have a double bond. (one sigma and one pi).
