Sigma and Pi Bonds

[205389184]

In a triple bond, does it matter the order in which the sigma and pi bonds are?

[Jasmine Vallarta 2L]

For a triple bond, I think of it as 1 sigma bond and then 2 pi bonds

[Fatemah Yacoub 1F]

As long as you state there is one sigma and 2 pi bonds it doesn't matter how you assign them.

[Leila_4G]

It seems like all we need to know for sigma/pi bonds for Test 2 is the definition and properties of sigma/pi bonds and what one/two/three bonds mean, is that right?
Thanks!

[Avnita C_4B]

Yes we need the definition and how they are present in the bonds. In the triple bond, there would be 1 sigma and 2 pi bonds most of the time.

[Eesha Chattopadhyay 2K]

The order of which of the 3 bonds is sigma and which are pi isn't important, even the book doesn't spend very much time on that. I think we probably just have to know that a triple bond has 1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds

[805097738]

how are we supposed to order bonds?

[HuyHa_2H]

You don't need to order the bonds. Just know how many sigma and pi bonds are present in each kind of bond (Triple Bond = 1 Sigma Bond and 2 Pi Bonds,etc.)

[chrischyu4a]

You just need to know that triple bonds consist of one sigma bond and two pi bonds

[Claire Stoecklein 1E]

All bonds are denoted as straight lines, so there is no way to differentiate them

[Megan Jung 3A]

a triple bond is composed of a sigma bond and two pi bonds. The order does not matter.

[Marykate Abad 3L]

A triple bond contains 1 sigma and 2 pi bonds. The order does not matter.

[Madeline Phan 1E]

You only need to know that a triple bond contains 1 sigma and 2 pi bonds.

[Kehlin Hayes 4C]

Order is not important, just know a triple bond means a sigma bond with two pi bonds

[MTanikella_1K]

Order does not matter as long as you state that there is one sigma and two pi bonds

[Yijia_Yang_3A]

a triple has 1 sigmas and 2 pi bonds. you wont be able to tell they are shown as straight lines

[Yeprem]

Can someone please explain the delocalized pi bonds?

[Liam Bertrand 3]

The triple bond will just contain 1 sigma and 2 pi bonds, I think that's all the detail we need to know.

[DMaya_2G]

Delocalized pi bonding is seen in resonance structure with varying locations of double and triple bond.

[Lorraine Jiang 2C]

I think you just need to know that there is a sigma bond and two pi bonds in a triple bond, but I think it is most common to say sigma bond first before pi bonds.

Hope it helps!

1 Sigma 2 Pi Bonds

[Jiapeng Han 1C]

A triple bond contains 1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds.

[Sydney Jensen 3L]

One sigma and two pi bonds make up a triple bond, and there is no particular order or anything for them.

[Alison Perkins 2B]

I don't believe there is a specific order in which these bonds need to be numbered, however one must be sigma and any remaining must be pi bonds.

[Alessia Renna 1D]

the order does not matter as long as you know how many sigma and pi bonds there are

[Chinmayi Mutyala 3H]

Based on the outline, I don't think we'll be asked this on the test.

[Inderpal Singh 2L]

I believe the order does not matter.

[Simer_Shera_2D]

I don't think the order matters as long as you identify them correctly.

[Anthony_Sandoval_1D]

A triple bond has 1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds but otherwise the order does not matter.

[Ethan Goode 2H]

I don't think the order would matter, but I think of it as first a sigma bond and then a pi bond, as single bonds are sigma bonds.

[DPatel_2L]

I don't think the order matters, as long as you state one sigma and two pi bonds

[Vanessa Wiratmo 3k]

a triple bond has one sigma bond and two pi bonds.

[oliviahelou]

The first bond in a triple bond is a sigma bond, however, the 2 others are necessarily Pi bonds!
