What is sigma and pi bonds?
What are some examples of molecules with sigma and pi bonds?
Molecules that have single covalent bonds between atoms have only sigma bonds, while molecules that have double or triple covalent bonds between atoms have both sigma and pi bonds. For example, in the molecule ethene (C₂H₄), there is a double bond between the two carbon atoms, consisting of one sigma bond and one pi bond.
