During a lecture on orbital overlap, a professor discusses bond strengths. Which type of bond is characterized by maximum electron density between nuclei?
Q1. During a lecture on orbital overlap, a professor discusses bond strengths. Which type of bond is characterized by maximum electron density between nuclei?
Answer: Sigma bond
Explanation: Sigma bonds are stronger than pi bonds because of head-on overlap; Pi bonds are tempting but involve weaker sideway orbital overlap.
