Thank-you this channel is a gem. I'm so glad i discovered it! I'm enlightened, thank-you for breaking things down so beautifully with reasoning. Some people have a habit of puking facts but i loved this one.
Who else had difficulty hearing “ Sigma bonds” without visualizing weird faces PPLE on TikTok make when they do something cool, and call it ‘Sigma’? This was a tough video to watch 😂
In my language the letter Pi is pronounced "pi" as in pipi... My professor literally said that a triple bond is called "Sigma pipi" and that's exactly how she pronounced it as well... Bro, the sigma pipi jokes didn't stop all week...
No - the 2 p orbitals overlap BUT remember that they only have one electron in each orbital not two. So when the orbitals overlap - despite there being two places of overlap they can only form one bond where there are two electrons therefore making a single pi pond. So there is 1 pi bond + 1 sigma bond = double bond. Hope this helps :)
