Structure 2.2.15—Sigma bonds σ form by the head-on combination of atomic orbitals where the electron density is concentrated along the bond axis. Pi bonds π form by the lateral combination of p-orbitals where the electron density is concentrated on opposite sides of the bond axis. Deduce the presence of sigma bonds and pi bonds in molecules and ions.
