प्रश्न
Give a reason for the sigma (σ) bond is stronger than the Pi (π) bond.
उत्तर
- The strength of the bond depends on the extent of overlap of the orbitals. Greater the overlap, the stronger is the bond.
- A sigma bond is formed by the coaxial overlap of the atomic orbitals which are oriented along the internuclear axis, hence the extent of overlap is maximum.
- A pi bond is formed by the lateral overlap of the atomic orbitals which are oriented perpendicular to the internuclear axis, hence the extent of orbital overlapping in a sidewise manner is less.
Hence, the sigma (σ) bond is stronger than the Pi (π) bond.
