How can you find the localized, delocalized pi bonds and sigma bonds by looking at the chemical structure of a molecule?
In a structure, pi bonds are the second or third bonds in a double or triple bond, and sigma bonds are single bonds or the first bond in a double or tripe bond.

To determine localized, delocalized pi bonds, and sigma bonds in a molecule, examine the connectivity of the atoms and the distribution of electrons. Localized pi bonds involve two specific atoms sharing electrons in a defined region, while delocalized pi bonds involve the sharing of electrons over multiple atoms. Sigma bonds occur when atomic orbitals overlap head-on. Analyzing the connectivity and electron distribution allows identification of these bond types in a molecule's structure.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
