Among s-s,s-p,p-p

sigma P-P is strong enough because of greater overlapping.The bond strengths for sigma S-S is 1.0 ,for sigma S-P is 1.71 and for sigma P-P is 3.0. so sigma

P-P is stronger it means that it is more stable. But many books they have given that s-s overlapping is more than p-p overlapping .This is not true because due spherical shape of the s orbital the charge is symmetrically distributed and also small size there will not effective overlapping of orbitals as P-P overlapping .So P-P bond is stronger than S-S bond.

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.


How do you construct a sigma bond?

Yes, s and p orbitals can absolutely form sigma bond, as long at the p orbital is facing directly with it's lobe toward the spherical S orbital. This picture will help you better understand the orientation (look at the middle figure in the related link). If the p orbital is not facing this way "into" the s orbitals then there will be no sigma bond or any bond what so ever.


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 type of covalent bond formed by the head-on overlap of two atomic orbitals. In the case of two half-filled 1s orbitals coming together to form a sigma bond, the wave functions of the orbitals overlap constructively along the axis connecting the two nuclei. This results in the formation of a sigma bond with a high electron density directly between the nuclei.


How many valence electrons occupy sigma bond orbitals an pi bond orbitals in c14h10?

How many sigma bonds can the two sets of 2p orbitals make with each other?

Assuming you mean two sets of p orbitals on adjacent atoms only one sigma bond can be formed, by the p orbitals that point between the atoms to form an axial bond. The lobes that are at right angles , ( two unused p orbitals on each atom) could form pi bonds.


Does Sp3 orbitals have a pi bond?

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


In C2H4 what are the atomic orbitals that participate in forming the sigma bond between the C and H atoms?

In ethylene (C2H4), the sigma bond between the carbon and hydrogen atoms is formed by the overlap of the sp2 hybrid orbitals from carbon and the 1s orbital from hydrogen. The sp2 hybridization in carbon results in three sp2 orbitals and one unhybridized p orbital, with the three sp2 orbitals forming sigma bonds and the p orbital forming a pi bond.


How many sigma bond orbitals are available for overlap with the vacant p orbital in methyl cation?

In methyl cation (CH3+), there are three sigma bond orbitals available for overlap with the vacant p orbital. These sigma bond orbitals originate from the three C-H bonds in the methyl group.


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


What is the weakest hybrid bond?

A single bond is called a sigma bond and it consists of the end-to-end overlap of hybrid orbitals. Single bonds between are longest and weakest.


The first bond in a covalent molecule is always the sigma bond?

Yes, the first bond in a covalent molecule is typically a sigma bond. Sigma bonds form when two atomic orbitals overlap end-to-end, allowing for the sharing of electrons between atoms. Subsequent bonds in a molecule may be pi bonds, which form from the side-to-side overlap of atomic orbitals.


Is a pi bond or a sigma bond weaker?

A pi bond is weaker than a sigma bond because pi bonds have less overlap between the orbitals of the bonding atoms compared to sigma bonds. This results in pi bonds being easier to break in chemical reactions.
