Definition: A pi bond is a covalent bondM formed between two neighboring atom's unbonded p-orbitals.
An unbound p-orbital electron in one atom forms an electron pair with a neighboring atom's unbound, parallel p-orbital electron. This electron pair forms the pi bond.
Double and triple bonds between atoms are usually made up of a single sigma bond and one or two pi bonds. Pi bonds are generally denoted by the Greek letter π.
