Question

What's the difference between a sigma bond and pi (π) bond?

Also, please state the three types of hybridization.
​

Answer 1

Sigma bonds are formed by the Head-to-head overlapping of atomic orbitals while Pi bonds are formed by the lateral overlapping of two atomic orbitals.

Types of hybridization:

1) sp hybridization.

2) sp² hybridization.

3) Sp^3 hybridization.

Hope this helps.

Good luck ✅.
