Q & A
What is a sigma bond?
-A sigma bond is a single bond formed from the overlap of atomic orbitals, typically resulting from the overlap of sp2 hybrid orbitals in carbon and s orbitals in hydrogen.
How many sigma and pi bonds are present in a double bond?
-A double bond contains one sigma bond and one pi bond.
What is the structure of ethene in terms of sigma and pi bonds?
-Ethene has five sigma bonds and one pi bond. The sigma bonds are formed from the overlap of sp2 hybrid orbitals and s orbitals, while the pi bond arises from the overlap of unhybridized p orbitals.
How do sigma and pi bonds differ in terms of orbital overlap?
-Sigma bonds result from the end-to-end overlap of orbitals, while pi bonds form from the side-to-side overlap of unhybridized p orbitals above and below the bond axis.

-The Lewis structure of acetylene (C2H2) shows a linear molecule with one triple bond between the carbon atoms and two single bonds with hydrogen. It contains three sigma bonds and two pi bonds.
What is the number of sigma and pi bonds in formaldehyde (CH2O)?
-Formaldehyde (CH2O) has three sigma bonds and one pi bond.
How do you determine the number of sigma and pi bonds in a molecule?
-To determine the number of sigma and pi bonds, count all the single bonds as sigma bonds. Each double bond has one sigma and one pi bond, and each triple bond has one sigma and two pi bonds.
What is the Lewis structure of SO2Cl2, and how many sigma and pi bonds does it have?
-The Lewis structure of SO2Cl2 (sulfuryl chloride) has four sigma bonds and two pi bonds. The sigma bonds are formed between sulfur, oxygen, and chlorine atoms, while the double bonds contribute to the pi bonds.
Why is it important to know the number of sigma and pi bonds in a molecule?
-Knowing the number of sigma and pi bonds in a molecule helps in understanding its structural properties, bond strength, and reactivity.
How many sigma and pi bonds are present in a molecule with 11 sigma bonds and a triple and double bond?
-In such a molecule, there are 11 sigma bonds and three pi bonds (two from the triple bond and one from the double bond).

Transcripts
in this video i'm going to give you a
brief introduction into sigma and pi
bonds
so what you need to know is that a
single bond
is a sigma bond a double bond contains
one sigma
and one pi bond
a triple bond
contains one sigma and two pi bonds
so i'm going to use ethene as an example
the lewis structure of ethene looks like
this
so every single bond that we see here
is a sigma bond and sigma bonds are
formed from the overlap of atomic
orbitals
the carbon is sp2 hybridized and
hydrogen is
it has an s hybridization
so therefore
once we mix the s orbital with the sp2
orbital
that produces a sigma bond
so this is another sigma bond
so this one is formed from the overlap
of two
sp2 hybrid orbitals
so as you can see this molecule
has five sigma bonds
one two
three
four
five
now the pi bond
arises due to the unhybridized p
orbitals that exist above and below
the single bond
so this forms the pi bond
and the sigma bond is in the middle
so now you can visually see how a sigma
bond and a pi bond
how they look alike and how they differ
so all of these are sigma bonds
so in this molecule we have five sigma
bonds and one pi bond
so let's work on some problems
so i'm going to give you a molecule
c2h2
also known as acetylene
and what i want you to do is i want you
to draw the lewis structure
and determine the number of sigma and pi
bonds that can be found in this molecule
so feel free to pause the video and give
this problem a shot go ahead and try it
acetylene
can be drawn this way
it's important to know that hydrogen
likes to form one bond and carbon likes
to form four bonds
so first you want to draw the molecule
with symmetry
now in order for carbon to have four
bonds we need to put a triple bond in
the middle this is the lewis structure
of acetylene
it's a linear molecule
now how many sigma and pi bonds
are present in this molecule now keep in
mind every bond contains one sigma bond
so it's one
two three there are three single bonds
in this molecule
now a triple bond has two pi bonds
so we have three sigma and two pi bonds
that's all you got to do
here's another example that you could
try
draw the lewis structure of this
molecule
and
determine the number of sigma and pi
bonds that are present in it
so carbon has to be the center atom
because they can form the most number of
bonds four bonds
hydrogen can only form a single bond and
oxygen likes to form two bonds
so with that knowledge
we know that this has to be the
structure
so we can see that we have one
two
three sigma bonds
and we have a double bond which contains
one pi bond
so that's the number of sigma and pi
bonds found in ch2o
also known as formaldehyde
now let's try another example
so2cl2
how can we draw the lewis structure of
this molecule
sulfur
can form up to six bonds
it has six valence electrons and if it
gives away all six
it could form six bonds to do so
oxygen likes to form two bonds
and chlorine likes to form one bond
so having that knowledge we could
assemble this structure like this
so that's so2cl2
now how many sigma bonds and pi bonds do
you see in this molecule
so every bond has at least one sigma
bond so one two three four there's four
single bonds
and each double bond contains one pi
bond
so we have a total of two pi bonds
and it's basically counted that's all
you need to do in order to determine the
number of sigma and pi bonds
so i'm going to give you a more
complicated structure
determine the number of sigma
and pi bonds
in this compound
so all you got to do is just count the
number of bonds to get the sigma bonds
one
two
3 4
5
6
7
8
9
10 11.
so there are 11 sigma bonds
the triple bond has two pi bonds the
double bond has one
so we have a total of three pi bonds
you
