JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure
Which of the following best describes the diagram of molecular orbital?

- A A bonding \(\pi \) orbital
- B A non - bonding orbital
- C An antibonding \(\sigma \) orbital
- D An antibonding \(\pi \) orbital
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) An antibonding \(\pi \) orbital
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
An antibonding \(\pi \) orbital best describes the diagram of a molecular orbital. Two orbitals laterally overlap to form pi bond. Out of phase combination, of these two \(p-\) orbitals, give \(\pi ^*\, MO\).
