The following are the differences between sigma and pi-bonds:
Sigma \((\sigma)\) Bond | Pi \({(\pi)}\) Bond |
---|---|
(a) It is formed by the end to end overlap of orbitals. | It is formed by the lateral overlap of orbitals. |
(b) The orbitals involved in the overlapping are \(s-s, s-p\) ,or \(p-p\). | These bonds are formed by the overlap of\( p-p\) orbitals only. |
(c) It is a strong bond. | It is weak bond. |
(d) The electron cloud is symmetrical about the line joining the two nuclei. | The electron cloud is not symmetrical. |
(e) It consists of one electron cloud, which is symmetrical about the internuclear axis. | There are two electron clouds lying above and below the plane of the atomic nuclei. |
(f) Free rotation about σ bonds is possible. | Rotation is restricted in case of \(pi-bonds\). |
Match List-I with List-II and select the correct option:
The bond angles \( b_1, b_2, b_3 \) in the above structure are respectively in \( ^\circ \):
Give reasons for the following.
(i) King Tut’s body has been subjected to repeated scrutiny.
(ii) Howard Carter’s investigation was resented.
(iii) Carter had to chisel away the solidified resins to raise the king’s remains.
(iv) Tut’s body was buried along with gilded treasures.
(v) The boy king changed his name from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun.

Such a group of atoms is called a molecule. Obviously, there must be some force that holds these constituent atoms together in the molecules. The attractive force which holds various constituents (atoms, ions, etc.) together in different chemical species is called a chemical bond.
There are 4 types of chemical bonds which are formed by atoms or molecules to yield compounds.
