6) Explain how o and a bonds are similar and how they are different. A) Differences: o bonds are stronger and result from end-to-end overlap and all single bonds are o bonds; a bonds between the same two atoms are weaker because they result from side-by-side overlap, and multiple bonds contain one or more n bonds (in addition to a o bond).
