What type of bond (sigma or pi) will result from the overlap of the following orbitals on adjacent atoms? a) H(s)-C(sp3) b) C(sp2)-C(sp3) c) C(sp3)-N(p) d) C(p)-O(p)

Solutions

Expert Solution

(a) H(s)-C(sp3) ---> Sigma Bond

s-orbital has spherical symmetrical structure. So, s-orbital containing atom (H) always form "sigma bond".

(b) C(sp2)-C(sp3) ---> Sigma Bond

sp3 hybridized carbon always form "sigma bond".

(c) C(sp3)-N(p) ---> Sigma Bond

sp3 hybridized carbon always form "sigma bond".

(d) C(p)-O(p) ---> Pi Bond

We know that pi-bond between two adjacent atoms formed by lateral overlap of two p-orbitals.

As C and O both contain p-orbitals. Hence, pi bond will form.
