(ii) Covalent Bonding:
This kind of bond is formed by mutual sharing of
electron pairs between the atoms of the same or
different elements. It is essential for sharing that the
two electrons must have opposite spins.
For example: the formation of chlorine, two chlorine
atoms combine to form a molecule by sharing a pair of
electrons.
s – p overlap
p – p overlap
(2) Pi ( π ) bond :The bond formed between two atoms by
the lateral or sidewise overlapping of atomic orbitals is
known as a Pi bond.
Therefore the Pi bond is formed by lateral overlapping of:
(i)Py – Py orbitals
(ii) Pz – Pz orbitals as shown in the diagram given below.
Py – Py overlap
Pz – Pz overlap

(b) Sphybridization:
The process of mixing of one s – orbital and two p –
orbitals of an atom to form three equivalent hybrid
orbitals directed towards the corners of an equilateral
triangle is called sp2 hybridization.
The 2s, 2px and 2py orbitals hybridize before bonding to
give three sp2- hybrid orbitals.
The characteristics of sp2 – hybrid orbitals are as follows:
(i) The three sp2 – hybrid orbitals lie one plane.
(ii) The angle between any two sp2 – hybrid orbitals is
120°.
(iii) All the three sp2 – hybrid orbitals are equivalent.
Each sp2 – hybrid orbital possesses ⅓ s – character
and ⅔ p – character.
(iv) The remaining 2pz orbital which is left in its original
state is oriented in a plane at right angles to the
plane of the sp2orbitals.

Here two sp hybridized carbon atoms form one sigma
bond by head – on overlap. The remaining two sp2 orbitals of
each carbon form σ bonds with H- atoms. The unhybridized
2pzorbitals of the two carbon atoms undergo a sidewise
overlap forming a π bond.
