A pi bond involves: Select the correct answer below: direct orbital overlap with the electron density concentrated along the internuclear axis. side-by-side, or lateral orbital overlap with the electron density concentrated on opposite sides of the internuclear axis. side-by-side, or lateral orbital overlap with the electron density concentrated along the internuclear axis. none of the above

side-by-side, or lateral orbital overlap with the electron density concentrated on opposite sides of the internuclear axis.

Explanation:

Pi bond is a type of covalent bond in which the internuclear axis has regions of orbital overlap below and above it i.e on opposite sides. As a result of the orbital overlap, a node is created along the internuclear axis.

This ultimately implies that, a pi bond is formed due to the lateral (side-by-side) overlap of the unhybridized P-orbital comprising of at least a node along the internuclear axis.

Hence, a pi bond involves side-by-side, or lateral orbital overlap with the electron density concentrated on opposite sides of the internuclear axis.

Additionally, a node is typically formed where an electron cannot be found.

aquifers are bounded above and below by impermeable rock. the driving force of groundwater movement in confined aquifers is pressure, rather than gravity.
