[edit]

This page needs some seroius attention by someone who knows more about chemistry than myself. i'm sure that the inductive effect is more involved than what is written and, considering this concept is the backbone of reactions, should be fleshed out.

Sigma Bonds only means through which induction occurs?

[edit]

In a disambiguation page for "induction" the present page's topic is described as being mediated through sigma bonds. Is there any reason that this narrow language should be used? While surely that's the most relevant concept, I see no reason why pi bonds couldn't have inductive effects, for example. Searches of the literature reveal usage of the term induction to describe effects mediated through interactions other than sigma bonds. Any reason why the sigma specification shouldn't be dropped in the disambiguation page and in this article as necessary to eliminate incorrect inference of exclusivity in fact or in definition?00:18, 6 December 2010 (UTC)~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Δζ (talkcontribs)

I would suggest that unless this idea that the inductive effect only occurs through sigma bonds can have some kind of a reference, that the sentence "It is present in a σ (sigma) bond, unlike the electromeric effect which is present in a π (pi) bond." should just be removed.

Bond polarization and bond energy

[edit]

I see that there is some mention of bond polarization in the article, but the quantitative connection of the inductive effect to the bond polarization is not clear.--109.166.137.226 (talk) 21:53, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
