Question 1

Which of the following best describes the difference between a sigma ($\sigma$) bond and a pi ($\pi$) bond in valence bond theory?

Accepted Answer

A $\sigma$ bond is formed by the end-to-end overlap of orbitals along the internuclear axis, while a $\pi$ bond is formed by the side-to-side overlap of parallel $p$ orbitals above and below the internuclear axis.
