4.43. (d) Basically the strength of a bond depends uponthe extent of overlapping. In case of sigma bond, the overlapping of orbitals takes place to alarger extent. Hence, it is stronger as comparedto the pi bond where the extent of overlappingoccurs to a smaller extent. Further, it isimportant to note that in the formation ofmultiple bonds between two atoms of amolecule, pi bond (s) is formed in addition to asigma bond.
