Theories of Bonding
• VALENCE BOND THEORY
— Linus Pauling
• valence electrons are localized
between atoms (or are lone
pairs).
• half-filled atomic orbitals
overlap to form bonds.

Sigma Bonds
The bond that arises from the overlap of
two orbitals, one from each of two atoms as
in H2, is called a sigma (σ) bond.
The electron density of a σ bond is greatest
along the axis of the bond.
These overlaps can exist between any
orbital … s,p,or d
Sigma Bond Formation
Summary:
•Orbitals overlap to form a bond between two atoms.
•Two electrons, of opposite spin, can be
accommodated in the overlapping orbitals. Usually
one electron is supplied by each of the two bonded
atoms.
•Because of orbital overlap, the bonding electrons
have a higher probability of being found within a
region of space influenced by both nuclei. Both
electrons are simultaneously attracted to both nuclei.
