Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 440
Question: Among the following ions the $ ~p\pi -d\pi $ overlap could be present in
Options:
A) $ NO_2^{-} $
B) $ NO_3^{-} $
C) $ PO_4^{3-} $
D) $ CO_3^{2-} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- In $ P-O $ bond, $ \pi $ bond is formed by the sidewise overlapping of d-orbital of P and p-orbital of oxygen. Hence it is formed by $ p\pi $ and $ d\pi $ overlapping.
