Which one of the following statements is correct?

  1. A Hybrid orbitals do not form \(\sigma\) bonds
  2. B Lateral overlap of \(p\)-orbitals or \(p\) - and \(d\)-orbitals produces \(\pi\)-bonds
  3. C The strength of bonds follows the order \[ \sigma_{p-p} < \sigma_{s-s} < \pi_{p-p} \]
  4. D s-orbitals do not form \(\sigma\) bonds
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Lateral overlap of \(p\)-orbitals or \(p\) - and \(d\)-orbitals produces \(\pi\)-bonds

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) Hybridised orbitals show only head on overlapping and thus form only \(\sigma\) bonds. They never form \(\pi\) bonds. (c) Head on overlapping is stronger than lateral or sideways overlapping. Therefore, the strength of bonds follows the order…
