What is the best description of the carbon-carbon bonds in ethene C2H4?
Two sp2 orbitals overlap to form a sigma bond, and two 2p orbitals overlap to form a pi bond.
What is a sigma bond Describe with the aid of a diagram how the overlap of two half filled 1 s orbitals produces a sigma bond?
a sigma bond is a one to one bond that is the weakest type of bond. the two filled orbitals form a single bond to hold the two elements together
How do atoms form double or triple covalent bonds?
The first bond between two particular atoms are formed by the linear overlapping of orbitals, and also known as sigma bonds. When they form more bonds, they cannot overlap along a line further. So they partially overlap and make pi bonds. Note that pi bonds are available for p orbitals only.
What bond forms when two atomic or hybrid orbitals overlap to form a single bond?
This is the basis of Organic Chemistry. An sp3 hybrid orbital can overlap with another and the result is a COVALENT bond
Ethyne C2H2 contains one carbon - carbon triple bond What is the best description of this bond?
Overlap of one sp2 hybrid orbital on each atom to form a sigma bond and a p orbital on each atom to form a pi bond.
What two atomic orbitals or hybrid atomic orbitals overlap to form the c equals c bond in ethene?
sp2 hybrid orbitals overlap.
What is the best description of the carbon-carbon bonds in ethene C2H4?
Two sp2 orbitals overlap to form a sigma bond, and two 2p orbitals overlap to form a pi 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

How d electrons form chemical bonds between atoms?
D orbitals like any other orbital can form bonds through overlap. They can form sigma bonds (only between dz2) and pi bonds (seen in transition metal complexes) and delta bonds (overlap of two d orbitals again seen in complexes))

This is the basis of Organic Chemistry. An sp3 hybrid orbital can overlap with another and the result is a COVALENT bond
What means p bond?
A p bond is the result of the sideways overlap of two parallel p orbitals.
Why don't carbon form tetra bond with another carbon?
There's no way to hybridize s and p orbitals to get overlap on four different ones between two carbons simultaneously.
What is covalent bond theory?
A covalent bond forms when the orbitals of two atoms overlap and a pair of electrons occupy the overlap region is called covalent bond theory
Ethyne C2H2 contains one carbon - carbon triple bond What is the best description of this bond?
Overlap of one sp2 hybrid orbital on each atom to form a sigma bond and a p orbital on each atom to form a pi bond.
What two orbitals overlap in a single bond?
overlapping that occurs along the orbital axis of 2 atomic orbitals is known as linear overlapping and these orbitals are called sigma atomic orbitals therefore these bonds are known as sigma bonds
