Assertion Both `pi(2P_(x))` and `pi^(**)(2P_(x))MO's` have one nodal plane each
Reasoning All `MO's` formed by side way overlapping of `2p` orbitals have one nodal plane .

Options

A. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct and `(R )` is the correct explanation of `(A)`
B. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct and `(R )` is the correct explanation of `(A)`
C. If `(A)` is correct but `(R )` is incorrect
D. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are incorrect

Explanation

Correct `(A) : pi (2p_(x))` has one nodal plane whereas `pi^(**)(2p_(x))` has two nodal planes Correct `(R )` Bonding `pi -MO` s have one nodal plane whereas antibonding `pi-MO` s have two nodal planes .
