Delta bond
In
chemistry, delta bonds are
chemical bonds of the
covalent type, where four lobes of one involved electron orbital overlap four lobes of the other involved electron orbital. Of the orbital's node planes, two go through both atoms.
The Greek letter d in their name refers to d orbitals, since the orbital symmetry of the delta bond is the same as that of the usual type of d orbital when seen down the bond axis.
