Question

n Bonding A t bond arises from "sideways" overlap of two parallel p orbitals. The electron density lies above and below a plane containing the 2 nuclei that is perpendicular to the orbitals p-orbital p-orbital bond atom i atom2 The maximum number of? bonds that the atom can If an atom has sp'd2 hybridization in a form is molecule: The maximum number of p-p t bonds that the atom can form is The maximum number or bonds that the atom can form If an atom has sp hybridization in a is molecule: The maximum number of p-p t bonds that the atom can form is

Explanation / Answer

sp3d2 hydridization maximum sigma bond is SIX and maximun p-p Pi bonds is NIL (e.g., PCl5)- All the bonds are formed along the axis i.e., why all are sigma.

sp hydridization maximum sigma bond is ONE and maximun p-p Pi bonds is TWO (e.g., acetylene)- One bond is formed along the main axis i.e., why One sigma and two PI bond formed by sideways overlap of orbitals.
