Strength of bonds

[Karina Rodriguez 2H]

Is either a sigma or a pi bond stronger than the other?

Since a sigma bond is present in every covalent bond, but a pi bond is only present in double and triple bonds, I would assume that the bond between atoms with a pi bond is stronger since a double bond is stronger than a single bond. I'm not sure if a sigma bond is individually weaker than a pi bond though. Hope this helps

I agree, I think pi bonds should be stronger since they are present in double and triple bonds (which are stronger than single bonds) while sigma bonds are only in single bonds.

I think bonds are stronger when pi bonds are present rather than only sigma bond being present since the strength of bond order is triple bond>double bond>single bond.

I think pi bonds are stronger since they are present in double and triple bonds whereas sigma bonds are present in all covalent bonds. Hope this helps!

Pi bonds are probably stronger because they are found in double and triple bonds while sigma bonds are found in any covalent bond.
