pi bonds

[Amy Kumar 1I]

why are pi bonds shown in the p orbital?

[Chem_Mod]

Pi bonds are side by side overlap of p orbitals

[Miriam Villarreal 1J]

a pi bond is formed when two p orbitals overlap in a side-by-side fashion with the electron density concentrated above and below the plane of the nuclei of the bonding atoms.

[Mulin_Li_2J]

Pi is the Greek letter for "p". The nomenclature is defined in this way because it has similar properties as p orbitals, including two electron dense regions seperated by a nodal plane. Pi bond is not shown in the p orbital; it is formed by overlapping two p orbitals from two atoms side-by-side. Hope this help!

So in the event that a molecule such as Te (ground state: 5p4) forms a double bond with an element, would it be only the p orbitals that would take part in the double bond? Are orbitals above p (as in d or f) able to form pi bonds, or are those a different type of bond that we haven't discussed yet? It would be great if anyone could help me with this! Thank you!

Pi bonds are shown in the p-orbital because of its shape lets it have two regions of overlap. On above the axis and below it. Here, at these overlaps, there is a high concentration of electron density.

[Sejal Parsi 3K]

A pi bond is created when two p orbitals overlap side by side, with electron density concentrated above and below the plane of the bonding atoms.

When two p orbitals overlap they form a pi bond

[joshtully]

Pi bonds form when p orbitals overlap.

[Nick Saeedi 1I]

They are shown in the p orbital because a pi bond is formed when 2 p orbitals overlap vertically.

[Libby Dillon - 1A]

Pi bonds show up in the p orbital rather than the s orbital because they occur when two p orbitals overlap side by side. This results in bound atoms being unable to rotate and electron density both above and below the internuclear axis.

[Jasmin Kumar 1G]

the pi bonds form when the p-orbitals overlap side by side

[Nicoli Peiris 1B]

The pi bonds are when there is side by side interaction which happens with p orbitals.
