Question

A pi 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. If an atom has sp^3d^2 hybridization in a molecule: The maximum number of sigma bonds that the atom can form is The maximum number of p-p pi bonds that the atom can form is If an atom has sp^3 hybridization in a molecule: The maximum number of sigma bonds that the atom can form is The maximum number of p-p pi bonds that the atom can form is

Explanation / Answer

If an atom has sp3d2 hybridization in a molecule :

The maximum number of sigma bonds that the atom can form is = 6

The maximum number of p-p pi bonds that the atom can form is = 0

If a atom has sp3 hybrdization in a molecule,

The maximum number of sigma bonds that the atom can form is = 4

The maximum number of p-p pi bonds that the atom can form is = 0
