σ Molecular Orbital

A type of molecular orbital formed by the head-on overlapping of atomic orbitals, characterized by electron density along the axis connecting the nuclei of the atoms involved.

Nodes

Points along a standing wave where the wave has minimal amplitude. In quantum mechanics, it refers to points where the probability density of a particle is zero.

Carbon-Carbon

Describes bonds or interactions specifically between carbon atoms within molecules, crucial for organic chemistry.

σ Bonds

Atomic orbitals overlap linearly to form a sigma bond, providing a strong covalent bond between atoms.
