Question

If two sp2 hybridized atoms are bonded together, typically an sp2 orbital on one will combine with an sp2 orbital on the other to form a _____ and a _____orbital.

two atomic p orbitals on adjacent atoms combine in parallel fashion one s and one s(?) molecular orbital will result

Answer 1

If two sp2 hybridized atoms are bonded together, typically an sp2 orbital on one will combine with an sp2 orbital on the other to form a sigma and a pi orbital.
