Covalent bonds in polyatomic molecules are formed by the overlap of

A

pure atomic orbitals

B

hybrid orbitals

C

hybrid orbitals with unhybridized ones

D

both (2) and (3)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The hybridization bonding scheme is still within the framework of valence bond theory. Electrons in a polyatomic molecule are assumed to occupy hybrid orbitals of the individual atoms.
