Q56 / 180 · KCET 2016 · Chemistry

Main axis of diatomic molecule is \( Z \). The orbitals \( P_{x} \) and \( P_{y} \) overlap to form

  • Correct answer
    A
    II - molecular orbita
  • B
    \( \sigma \) - molecular orbital
  • C
    \( \delta \) - molecular orbital
  • D
    No bond is formed

Solution

If \( z \)-axis is the molecular axis, then \( \Pi \) - molecular orbitals are formed by overlap of \( p x \) and py .The orbitals perpendicular
to the axis takes part in overlapping for \( \Pi \) - molecular orbitals formation, hence, \( \Pi \) - bond is formed.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
