Question #74278

why sigma bond is upper than pi bond in Nitrogen molecule?

Expert's answer

Answer:

This is usually explained by pointing out that π\pi bonds form by less-efficient "sideways overlap" between atomic orbitals, while in a σ\sigma bond the atomic orbitals concerned overlap directly.

σ\sigma bond in molecule of nitrogen which connects atomic centers is more stronger.
