Question

How many sigma and pi bonds will form when one s-orbital undergo head-on overlapping with one p-orbital?

Open in App

Solution

Head-on overlapping of orbitals result in sigma bond formation.
Pi bonds are formed in case of sidewise overlapping orbitals.

When one s-orbital undergo head-on overlapping with one p-orbital, only 1 sigma bond will be formed without any pi bond formation.
