Ice-cream Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 hey guys, i'm learning about hybridisation at the moment but theres just something im confused about. If im given a lewis diagram of a molecule, i can easily tell where the sigma bonds are (coz they're just between the atoms) but how can i tell where the pi bonds are (coz from what i know, they;re meant to be at different orientations or something). there's got to be a way of just easily seeing how many pi bonds there are and where they are isn't there? can anyone help me plz?
jarmenkill Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 all double bonds have a pi and a sigma bonds. all triple bonds have 2 pi(s) and one sigma bonds. why? hybridization orbitals will make a sigma bond.(two orbitals will get face to face) excess P orbital(s) may make 1(2) pi bonds. take a look at orbitals spatial shapes.
