Which bond is stronger sigma or pi ? Why ? |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) SIGMA bonds `sigma` are STRONGER than pi `(pi)` bonds. Because Sigma bonds are formed from bonding orbitals directly . Between the NUCLEI of thebonding ATOMS. Resulting in greater overlap and a strong sigma BOND ( axial overlapping). (ii) pi atrong results from overlap of atomic orbitals that are in contact through two are as of overlap ( lateral overlapping). Pi bonds are more diffused bonds than sigma bonds. |
