Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 414
Question: Main axis of a diatomic molecule is Z. $ A{O}’s $
$ p_{x} $ and $ p_{y} $ overlap to form which of the following orbitals-
Options:
A) $ \pi -MO $
B) $ \sigma -MO $
C) $ \delta -MO $
D) No bond will form
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- $ p_{x} $ and $ p_{y} $ orbitals do not have proper orientation to overlap and hence no bond is formed.
