Difference Between Sigma And Pi Bond

6 Difference Between Sigma And Pi Bond

S.NO.	Sigma Bond	Pi Bond
1.	A sigma bond is a type of chemical bond formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals.	Pi bond is a type of chemical bond formed by the overlap of parallel p orbitals.
2.	Sigma bonds are the strongest type of chemical bond and are usually formed between atoms with similar electronegativities.	Pi bonds are weaker than sigma bonds and are usually formed between atoms with different electronegativities.
3.	Sigma bonds are formed by the head-on overlap of atomic orbitals.	Pi bonds are formed by the lateral overlap of atomic orbitals.
4.	Sigma bonds are single bonds, meaning they consist of one sigma bond.	Pi bonds are double bonds, meaning they consist of one sigma bond and one pi bond.
5.	Sigma bonds are typically more stable and have a higher bond energy than pi bonds.	Pi bonds are more reactive and have a lower bond energy.
6.	Sigma bonds are found in a variety of chemical compounds.	Pi bonds are typically found in aromatic compounds and unsaturated hydrocarbons.
