Question

1. The side-by-side overlap of p orbitals produces what kind of bond?

Answer 1

a pi bond... hope this helps!!!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

A pi (π) bond.

Explanation:

p orbitals are spheric, thus, they have only one way to overlap and they can only form sigma bonds. However, p orbitals (lobed shape) can overlap in two ways:

• If two p orbitals overlap end-to-end, they form a sigma bond.
• If two p orbitals overlap side-by-side, they form a pi bond.
