Plz explain too
Dear Student,
As we know there are two types of p-orbital overlap i.e sigma (σ) and pi (π). A sigma bond is the "end-to-end" overlap of the bonding orbitals, while a pi bond is the side-to-side overlap. Both are possible twitch two p-orbitals. In the case of Cl2 we have a p-p sigma bond. In HCl, there is indeed s and p overlap. In H2O, the s-orbitals of H overlap sp3 hybrid orbitals of O .Iin NH3, the s-orbitals of H overlap sp3 hybrid orbitals of N.
For remaining queries we request you to post them in separate threads to have rapid assistance from our experts.
Regards,
