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

  1. A II - molecular orbita
  2. B \( \sigma \) - molecular orbital
  3. C \( \delta \) - molecular orbital
  4. D No bond is formed
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) II - molecular orbita

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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.
