Chapter 4, Problem 4.50AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The labeled bonds in the following structure in terms of the bond type $\left(\sigma or\pi \right)$ are to be classified. Also, the orbitals that overlap to form the bond are to be classified.

Concept introduction:

A sigma $\left(\sigma \right)$ bond is a single bond which is formed when $s{p}^3-s{p}^3$, $s{p}^3-s{p}^2$, $s-s{p}^3$ hybridized orbitals overlap. A pie $\left(\pi \right)$ bond is a bond which is formed when an $s{p}^2-s{p}^2$ or an $sp-sp$ hybridized orbitals overlap.
