What are they?

• When two neighboring atoms have p orbitals, they can sideways overlap both above and below the bond axis. This fancy dance move forms a pi bond!

Visualize it! 🖼️

• Picture two balloons facing each other and squishing inwards from their sides. This represents the pi bond.
• The space between the two squished parts of the balloons is like the bond axis.

Electron Hangout Spot: 🌐

• In a pi bond, electron density (where the electrons love to chill) is on either side of the bond axis.

A Peek into a Pi Bond: 🔎

• One pi bond = Two lobes (like two ends of a dumbbell) on opposite sides of the bond axis.
• Each pi bond houses two electrons who love roaming in both lobes.

Valence Bond Theory: 🏠

• What it says: Think of it as the blueprints for molecular geometry.
• But... It's like a trailer for a movie; it doesn’t give away the full story. It doesn't spill beans on electron energies or cool properties like magnetism.

Molecular Orbital Theory: 🌌

• What it says: Imagine if the electrons had a party, and instead of hanging out in just one room (bond), they roam around the entire house (molecule).
• This theory is like saying the electrons are everywhere, not just in specific bonds.
• Bonus fact: It's heavily inspired by quantum mechanics! (That's like saying your dance moves are inspired by the best dancers in the world.)
