A triple bond is composed of _____ σ and _____ π bond(s).

1, 2

In general, the hybridized bonding in a molecule can be described using the 6 following steps:

1. Draw the Lewis structure 2. Count the number of electron domains on the central atom. This is the number of hybrid orbitals necessary to account for the molecule's geometry 3. Draw the ground-state orbital diagram for the central atom 4. Maximize the number of unpaired valence electrons by promotion 5. Combine the necessary number of atomic orbitals to generate the required number of hybrid orbitals 6. Place electrons in the hybrid orbitals, putting one electron in each orbital before pairing any

A double bond is stronger than a single bond, but not twice as strong. Select the statement that correctly explains this observation. A. A π bond is not as strong as a σ bond because sideways overlap of orbitals is less effective than direct head-to-head overlap. B. A π bond is stronger than a σ bond because it has two regions of orbital overlap instead of one. C. A π bond is weaker than a σ bond because the electrons in p orbitals repel each other more strongly.
