What two atomic orbitals or hybrid atomic orbitals overlap to form the c equals c bond in ethene?
The p orbitals on each of the carbon atoms overlap to form the pi bond in ethene. This pi bond is created by the sideways overlap of two p orbitals.
Why do atomic orbitals need to be hybridized?
In chemical bonding hybridisation is a mathematial device used in valence bond theory to devise new orbitals from the base atomic orbitals - the aim being to achieve new obitals that "point" in the right direction- so tetrahedral methane - use sp3 hybrid orbitals as these hybrid orbitals point tetrahedrally.
What is the valance bond theory?
Valence Bond Theory: • A discussion of valence bond theory is based on the knowledge of atomic orbitals, electronic configuration of elements, overlap criteria of atomic orbitals and principles of variation and superposition. • Orbital Overlap Concept of Covalent Bond: When two atoms approach each other, partial merger of two bonding orbitals, known as overlapping of the orbitals occurs. • Depending upon the type of overlapping, the covalent bonds may be divided as sigma (H) bond and Pi ( p ) bond. • Sigma (H) bond: This type of covalent bond is formed by the end to end (hand on) overlapping of bonding orbitals along the inter-nuclear axis. The overlap is known as head on overlap or axial overlap. The sigma bond is formed by any one of the following types of combinations of atomic orbitals. Sigma (H) bond can be formed by - s overlapping, s - p overlapping, p - p Overlapping etc. • Pi ( p ) Bond: This type of covalent bond is formed by the sidewise overlap of the half- filled atomic orbitals of bonding atoms. Such an overlap is known as sidewise or lateral overlap. 42. Hybridization: • In order to explain characteristic geometrical shapes of polyatomic molecules concept of hybridization is used. • The process of intermixing of the orbitals of slightly different energies so as to redistribute their energies resulting in the formation of new set of orbitals of equivalent energies and shape. 43.

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.
Show Potential energy curve for bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals?
In a bonding molecular orbital, the potential energy decreases as the bond forms between two atomic orbitals, resulting in a stable, lower-energy state compared to the individual atomic orbitals. In an antibonding molecular orbital, the potential energy increases as the two atomic orbitals interact, leading to a higher-energy, less stable configuration due to destructive interference between the atomic orbitals.
What is the significance of electron distribution in atomic orbitals?
The significance of electron distribution in atomic orbitals is that it determines the chemical properties and behavior of an element. The arrangement of electrons in orbitals affects how atoms bond with other atoms to form molecules, and influences the reactivity and stability of substances.

The p orbitals on each of the carbon atoms overlap to form the pi bond in ethene. This pi bond is created by the sideways overlap of two p orbitals.

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
A new set of identical orbitals formed by combining the atomic orbitals of an atom involved in covalent bonding?
Molecular orbitals are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals from different atoms in a covalent bond. These molecular orbitals have distinct shapes and energies compared to the atomic orbitals they are formed from. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that combine.
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.
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 kind of chemical bond occurs by the equal sharing of electrons?
A covalent bond occurs through the equal sharing of electrons between two atoms. This type of bond is formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals and is characterized by the sharing of electron pairs.

What does hybridization?
Hybridisation is a mathematical technique in valence bond theory used "create" new (higher energy) orbitals from base atomic orbitals so that the new orbitals point along bond axes. Valence bond theory as its name suggests focuses on the localised electron pair. Other bonding theories such as molecular orbital theory do not hybridise the base atomic orbitals. Both theories have their merits.
How is a molecular orbital formed?
In molecular orbital theory, MO theory, molecular orbitals are "built" from atomic orbitals. A common approach is to take a linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO), specifically symmetry adapted linear combinations (SALC) using group theory. The formation of a bond is essentially down to the overlap of the orbitals, the orbitals being of similar energy and the atomic orbital wave functions having the correct symmetry.
Use the Molecular orbital theory to describe covalent bonding?
A commo approach is LCAO, linear combination of atomic orbitals. This gives rise to molecular orbitals and is a technique with particular strengths in determining bond energies rather than bond location. For exampel a simple moleculae such as methane in MO theory is predicted to have four bonding orbitals- where one has a lower energy than the other three and this is borne out by spectrocopy. this is a different insight to that provided by traditional valence bond theory which predicts four equivalent bonds to hydrogen.
