A \( \pi \) bond arises from "sideways" overlap of two parallel p orbitals. The electron density lies above and below a plane containing the 2 nuclei that is perpendicular to the orbitals.
What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the \( \pi \) bond between \( \mathbf{C} \) and \( \mathbf{O} \) in carbon dioxide, \( \mathrm{CO}_{2} \) ?
\( \square \) orbital on C + \( \square \) orbital on \( \mathbf{O} \)
How many \( \sigma \) bonds does \( \mathbf{C} \) have in \( \mathbf{C O}_{\mathbf{2}} \) ? \( \square \)
How many \( \pi \) bonds does \( \mathbf{C} \) have? \( \square \)
