Electrons in sigma <span>bonds remain localized between two atoms. Sigma </span><span>bond results from the formation of </span><span>a molecular orbital </span><span>by the end to </span><span>end overlap of atomic </span>orbitals. Electrons<span> in pi</span> bonds can become delocalized between more than two atoms. Pi bonds result from the formation of molecular orbital by side to side overlap of atomic orbitals.

6 atoms of Cobalt.
4 atoms to Phosphate (PO4).
6 atoms to sodium.
6 atoms to Chlorine.
The coefficient is one factor that tells you how many atoms go to each atom/element, however, the subscript also influences this.
If the compound has parenthesis, then the subscript within the parenthesis remains untouched and does not affect the atoms.
Basically, to calculate the atoms is multiply the coefficient (number in front of the atom) by the subscript attached to the atom. If it's a compound such as Co3PO4, then make sure the coefficient affects the second atom as well.
Hope this helps!
Hey there!
When two or more substances combine, they create one or more new substances, which sometimes have different molecular structures from the original substances, meaning they absorb and radiate light in different ways, leading to a color change.
Hope this helps! :)
