Do hybrid orbitals always form sigma bonds?

Question

I was just wondering if the sp3, sp2, sp hybrid orbitals always form sigma bonds? what about the p orbitals..do they always form pi bonds?

Answer 1

yes, they always do. if you want to have a better understanding about sigma and pi bonds, and hybrid orbitals visit this website:

Answer 2

Well yes and no. The first bondng orbitals will ALWAYS be a sigma bond! Like between two carbon atoms , the first bond is always sigma. So if it was between two carbon atoms it would be written as Csp3/Csp3
A pi bond is a bond between the hybrid orbitals of the two carbon atoms, but they have to be in the same plane for it to be a pi bond.
If a Hydrogen is connected to the Carbon via hybrid orbital it would be written as Csp3/H1s.

Answer 3

sigam bonds are the most basic bond formed between to atoms.. it is present in double bonds.. formed by s orbitals
