Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary characteristic of a sigma bond?
  • Step 1: Understand that a sigma bond is a type of chemical bond between two atoms.
  • Step 2: Learn that a sigma bond is formed when the orbitals of the two atoms overlap end-to-end.
  • Step 3: Recognize that this overlap allows the atoms to rotate freely around the bond axis.
