Pi bonds

[Peter Nguyen 2I]

Why are pi bonds always unhybridized?

For sp2, when there are more than 3 valence electrons in the outer shell, three will hybridize and the rest will form pi bonds. This happens because it causes no leftover elections and is optimal.

I found this video helpful for understanding the hybridization of pi bonds.

This video is very helpful. Thanks for sharing

When you have a double bond, you have 2 pi bonds and 1 sigma bond. When you find the hybridization level, you only count the the number of sigma bonds or hybrid bonds.

What is the difference between pi and sigma?

[Diana_Diep2I]

What is the difference between pi and sigma?

sigma is all single bonds and pi is the second bond in a double bond

[Angela Patel 2J]

What is the difference between pi and sigma?

sigma is all single bonds and pi is the second bond in a double bond

I still don't really understand this concept, can someone explain it further?

In a sigma bond, electron density is usually concentrated between the nuclei of the two bonding atoms. In a pi bond, the electron density is usually concentrated below and above the plane of nuclei in the two bonding atoms. A single bond is referred to as a sigma bond. In a double bond or triple bond, one bond is a sigma bond and the second and third respectively are pi bonds.
