Questions and Answers List

Question	Answer
- electron pair is most likely to be found on the line between the two nuclei - most simple bond	Sigma bond
.	Sigma bonding and anti sigma bonding
- lower energy than original atoms - energy released when formed - hydrogen molecule more energetically stable than original atoms	Bonding orbital
- less energetically stable than original atoms - most cases empty of electrons - shown with * after its symbol - no attractions, instead get repulsions	Anti-bonding orbital
-normal bonding orbital -formed by sideways overlap between half filled p-orbital on each of the two carbon atoms	pi bond
contain lone pairs of electrons at bonding level	non-bonding orbitals
