side-to-side overlap of orbitals of
two atoms is termed a _
bond.
А
sigma
B
pi

Answer 1

pi

Step-by-step explanation:

In chemistry, a covalent bond is formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals. The bond formed may be a sigma bond or a pi bond depending on the way the atomic orbitals are overlapped.

If the overlap occurs in a side-to-side manner, the bond formed is said to be a pi bond. Pi bonds are common in organic species having multiple bonds such as ethene and benzene.
