• C) Four electrons reside in a pi bond whereas two electrons reside in a sigma bond.
• D) Two electrons reside in a pi bond whereas four electrons reside in a sigma bond.
• E) A sigma bond results when both atoms involved in the bond donates one electron each towards the covalent bond whereas a pi bond results when one atom donates both electrons and the other atom donates no electrons towards the covalent bond.
