What is Delta Bond ?

According to Valance bond theory (VBT) by overlapping of atomic Orbitals three types of covalent bond formation take place.
(1) Sigma Bond:
(2) Pi (π)-Bond:
(3) Delta Bond:

Delta Bond: Delta bond is a special type of bond which is formed by overlapping of all the four lobes of d-orbitals except dz2 orbital.

What is Pi-(π)Bond ?

According to Valance bond theory (VBT) by overlapping of atomic Orbitals three types of covalent bond formation take place.

(1) Sigma Bond:

(2) Pi (π)-Bond:

(3) Delta Bond

Pi(π) Bond:

(1) Pi (π) bond formed by sideways/lateral overlapping of pure atomic orbitals except Benzene where hybrid orbital formed π- bond.

(2)  Lateral overlapping is only partial, so bonds formed are weaker and hence more reactive than sigma bond (repulsion between nucleus is more as orbitals have to come much close to each other for pi bond formation).

For example-formation of oxygen molecule. Only Py and Pz of oxygen atom have unpaired electron in each orbital for bonding.

Electronic configuration of oxygen atom is 1s2,2s2,2Px2,Py1,Pz1

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

(4) pi bond is weaker than sigma bond .

(5) pi bond takes part in resonance.

(6) pi bond formed by pure or unhybrid orbitals.

Type of π- bond:

(1) Pπ-Pπ bond:

(2) Pπ-dπ bond:

(3) dπ-dπ bond:



What is Sigma Bond ?

According to Valance bond theory (VBT) by overlapping of atomic Orbitals three types of covalent bond formation take place.

(1) Sigma Bond:

(2) Pi Bond:

(3) Delta Bond:

Sigma Bond: 

(1)The sigma bond formed by nuclear/head on/axial overlapping /end to end overlap of pure as well as hybrid atomic orbitals.

(2) Sigma bond do not involve in resonance.

(3) free rotation is possible about a single sigma bond.

(4) Maximum overlapping is possible between electron clouds and hence it is strong bond.

(5) There can be only sigma bond between two atoms and sigma bond are formed by three type of overlapping.

(A) S-S overlapping: Two half filled s-orbitals overlap along inter nuclear axis for example H2 molecule.

(B) s-p overlapping : When half filled s-orbital of one atom overlap with half with p-orbital of other atom for example HF molecule.

(C) p-p overlapping (Coaxial overlapping): it involves the coaxial overlapping between half filled p-orbitals of two different atoms for examples F2, Cl2, Br2 etc

What is Pi-(π)Bond ?

What is "COORDINATE BOND" ?

A co-ordinate bond formed between two species by sharing of an electron pair where shared pair electron is given by one but shared by both.

CONCLUSIONS:
(1)
  Atoms of second period elements follow octed rule in doing so either they accept co-ordinate bond or they form co-ordinate bond.  However atoms of 3rd period elements perfectly form double bond (pi bond) in the place of co-ordinate bond if direction of co-ordinate bond is from centre to substituent.
(2) If maximum covalency rule applied and pi bonds have formed then back bond is not considered in species
For example H2SO4 and HClO4  have no back bond there is double bond.
