A Triple Bond as Sigma Plus Two Pi
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A triple bond consists of one sigma bond plus two pi bonds, formed from two separate pairs of perpendicular unhybridized p orbitals.
Show
Nitrogen's triple bond in N2 is one sp-sp sigma bond plus two pi bonds from two perpendicular p-orbital pairs.
Watch for
A triple bond's two pi bonds occupy perpendicular planes around the same sigma axis; they do not overlap each other.
