What are the characteristics features of π-bond ?

(1) π-bond fired by lateral (sidewise) overlapping of atomic orbitals.

(2) lateral overlapping is only partial, so bonds formed are weaker and hence more reactive than sigma bond.

(3) Free rotation about a π- bond is not possible.

(4) π- bond is weaker than sigma bond.

(5) π-bonds are non directional, so do not determine the shape of a molecules.

(5) π- bond take part in resonance.

(6) π- bond formed by pure or anhybrid orbitals.


What is the difference between 2p and 3p orbitals?

Importance difference in between 2p and 3p Orbitals is their energy.

The energy of atomic orbitals depends upon principal as well as azimuthal quantum number, which is  more common known as (n+l) rule .
According to (n+l) rule the atomic orbital has less (n+l)  value also has less energy vice versa.
If the value of (l):is same for two different orbitals then the greater the value of n greater is energy and vice versa.
For 2p => n= 2, l=0,. =>n+l= 2+0=2
For 3p => n= 3, l=0,. =>n+l= 2+0=3
Hence 3p have more energy than 2p orbital

Why are 2p orbitals higher in energy than 2s?

The energy of atomic orbitals depends upon principal as well as azimuthal quantum number, which is  more common known as (n+l) rule .
According to (n+l) rule the atomic orbital has less (n+l)  value also has less energy vice versa.
For 2S => n= 2, l=0,. =>n+l= 2+0=2
For 2p => n= 2, l=2,. =>n+l= 2+1=3
Hence 2p have more energy than 2s orbital

Does 2s and 2p have the same energy?

'NO' the energy of atomic orbitals depends upon principal as well as azimuthal quantum number, which is  more common known as (n+l) rule .
According to (n+l) rule the atomic orbital has less (n+l)  value also has less energy vice versa.
For 2S => n= 2, l=0,. =>n+l= 2+0=2
For 2p => n= 2, l=2,. =>n+l= 2+1=3
Hence 2p have more energy than 2s orbital

Which orbital has much overlap capacity?

When internuclear distance is fixed then overlapping extent of atomic orbitals depends on directional nature of orbitals. And higher the directional nature of orbitals more stronger will be extent of overlapping and more stronger bond will form
Order of extent of over lapping given as:
          2p-2p > 2s-2p > 2s-2s
