Myles Cuevas · Answer 1

True

Explanation:

Pi bonds are formed using p orbitals. Atoms that have p orbitals have 3 of them. In an sp² hybridized atom, only 2 of the 3 p orbitals are being used in the sp² orbitals, leaving one p orbital free for pi bonding. Therefore, only one pi bond can be formed to an sp² hybridized atom.
