Question

Strength of pi bonds are generally :

• A. stronger than sigma bond
• B. weaker than sigma bond
• C. stronger than ionic bond
• D. weaker than hydrogen bond

Answer 1

The correct option is B weaker than sigma bond

Strength of pi bond is weaker than sigma bond because it is formed due to lateral overlapping of atomic orbitals.
Since, their is a sharing of electron between the two atoms, which is not in case of hydrogen bond, hence it is stronger than the hydrogen bond.
Ionic bonds are always stronger than the covalent bonds. Since, Pi bonds are covalent bonds hence, it is weaker than ionic bonds.
