Which statement A-D about sigma ( ) and pi ( ) bonds is not correct?
A) A sigma bond has the region of high electron density aligned along the bond axis, which is the line connecting the two atoms.
B) A pi bond has regions of high electron density lying above and below the bond axis, which is the line connecting the two atoms.
C) A pi bond commonly is formed from the overlap of two unhybridized atomic 2p orbitals.
D) In the trigonal planar geometry, the sigma bonds are formed from the overlap of an sp2 hybridized orbital with another orbital.
E) Statements A-D are all correct.
