Concept Introduction: A method used to represent molecular structures of compounds is said to be bond line notation. In this notation, a line depicts a bond between two atoms and are drawn in a zigzag format. Atoms other than carbon and hydrogens are specifically depicted in this notation. It is assumed that carbon atoms are bonded to enough hydrogen atoms that are required to complete the octet.

σ and π bonds are type of covalent bonds that are formed by the overlapping of the atomic orbitals. The difference between two is that head-to-head overlapping of atomic orbitals results in σ bond formation whereas lateral overlapping of atomic orbitals results in π bond formation.
