Multiple bonds
A typical double bond consists of one
sigma bond and one pi bond; for
example, the C=C double bond in
ethylene. A typical triple bond, for
example in acetylene, consists of one
sigma bond and two pi bonds in two
mutually perpendicular planes containing
the bond axis. Two pi bonds are the
maximum that can exist between a given
pair of atoms. Quadruple bonds are
extremely rare and can be formed only
between transition metal atoms, and
consist of one sigma bond, two pi bonds
and one delta bond.
Special cases
A pi bond can exist between two atoms
that do not have a net sigma-bonding
effect between them.
