Sigma bond is stronger than Pi bond because of the following reasons:
- The extent of overlapping in Sigma bond is greater than in Pi bond.
- The electron density in intermolecular axis is more in Sigma bond than in Pi bond.
- There is free rotation of atom about Sigma bond but not about Pi bond.

II)Cr2+ is reducing agent as its configuration changes from d4 to d3, when it is oxidized to Cr3+ .The d3 configuration have a half-filled t2g level which is very stable. On the other hand, the reduction of Mn3+ to Mn2+ results in the half-filled (d5) configuration which has extra stability hence Mn3+ acts as oxidizing agent.

Materials show varying behaviors based on their Poisson's ratio. High Poisson's ratio materials (near 0.5) contract significantly sideways when stretched and expand when compressed, seen in substances like rubber. Low Poisson's ratio materials (near 0) undergo minimal width change during axial deformation, typical of metals and common engineering materials.
