QAIPM-2001-Ch-2880: NEET 2001 Chemistry - Class 11 AIPM-2001-Ch-2880 Solution: Main axis of a diatomic molecule is z, molecular orbital…

Main axis of a diatomic molecule is z, molecular orbital pxp_x and pyp_y overlap to form which of the following orbitals.

Multiple Choice Options

  • A π\pi molecular orbital
  • B σ\sigma molecular orbital
  • C δ\delta molecular orbital
  • D No bond will form

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

For � overlap, the lobes of the atomic orbitals are perpendicularto the line joining the nuclei. Hence only sidewise overlapping takes place.
