Hey, could anybody please explain what are delta bonds, how and why are they formed?
TRCSF said:You know what sigma bonds are, a bond between two s-orbitals, or between an s-orbital and a p-orbital, etc? And a pi bond is between two p-orbitals, or between two lobes of d-orbitals, right? A delta bond is between all four lobes of two d-orbitals. Fairly rare and not a very strong interaction from what I understand.
Neha Sanghvi said:Could you give some examples please? And are their any other sort of bonds, other than sigma, pi and delta? If so, could you explain them too, please?
