Sigma bond is stronger than Pi bond because of the following reasons:

1. The extent of overlapping in Sigma bond is greater than in Pi bond.
2. The electron density in intermolecular axis is more in Sigma bond than in Pi bond.
3. There is free rotation of atom about Sigma bond but not about Pi bond.

Bohr's theory of the atom was proposed in the early 20th century and was based on the idea that electrons move in fixed orbits around the nucleus. According to this theory, the position and momentum of an electron in an atom can be determined with absolute precision at any given moment, which seems to contradict Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to determine the exact position and momentum of a particle simultaneously. This...

A negative of a vector represents the direction opposite to the reference direction. It means that the magnitude of two vectors are same but they are opposite in direction.

For example, if A and B are two vectors that have equal magnitude but opposite in direction, then vector A is negative of vector B.

II)Cr2+ is reducing agent as its configuration changes from d4 to d3, when it is oxidized to Cr3+ .The d3 configuration have a half-filled t2g level which is very stable. On the other hand, the reduction of Mn3+ to Mn2+ results in the half-filled (d5) configuration which has extra stability hence Mn3+ acts as oxidizing agent.
