P Orbitals

Atomic orbitals described by quantum mechanics having a dumbbell shape and oriented along the x, y, and z axes, involved in forming pi bonds.

Relative Energies

Comparative measure of the energy levels of molecules in different states or configurations.

π Molecular Orbitals

Orbitals formed by the overlap of p-orbitals across adjacent atoms, involved in pi bonding, crucial for the understanding of conjugated systems.

Occupied π Molecular Orbitals
