Can someone explain to me the differences and the logic behind these bonds:

- Sigma Bonds
- Pi Bonds
- Delta Bonds

Something about different number of "?nodal?" planes in between. ???

What module is that under?

Sigma bonds (σ-bonds) are bonds where there is no nodal plane containing the line segment between the two bonded species.

Pi bonds (π bonds) are chemical bonds with a single nodal plane containing the line segment between the two bonded species.

Delta bonds (Δ bonds) are bonds which contain two nodal planes, whose intersection is a line containing the segment joining the two bonded species.

Not in the syllabus though.
