<p>In <a href="page.php?w=chemical_bond">chemical bond</a>s, an <b>orbital overlap</b> is the concentration of <a href="page.php?w=atomic_orbital">orbitals</a> on adjacent atoms in the same regions of space.  Orbital overlap can lead to bond formation. The general principle for orbital overlap is that, the greater the overlap between orbitals, the greater the bond strength. <a href="page.php?w=Linus_Pauling">Linus Pauling</a> explained the importance of orbital overlap in the molecular <a href="page.php?w=bond_angle">bond angle</a>s observed through</p><p>
