The correct set of symbols of the molecular orbitals given below is

• A

  (i) $=\sigma^*$, (ii) $=\sigma$, (iii) $=\pi^*$, (iv) $=\pi$
• B

  (i) $=\sigma^*$, (ii) $=\pi$, (iii) $=\pi^*$, (iv) $=\sigma$
• Correct answer
  C

  (i) $=\pi^*$, (ii) $=\sigma$, (iii) $=\sigma^*$, (iv) $=\pi$
• D

  (i) $=\pi$, (ii) $=\sigma^*$, (iii) $=\sigma$, (iv) $=\pi^{\star}$

Solution

Hence, correct answer is (i) $=\pi^*$ (ii) $=\sigma$ (iii) $=\sigma^*$ (iv) $=\pi$, molecular orbitals

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