If the z-axis is the molecular axis, then `piMOs` are formed by the overlap of
(i) `p_z` and `p_z` (ii) `p_y` and `p_y`
(iii) `s` and `p_z` (iv) `p_x` and `p_x`

A

(ii), (iv)

B

(i), (iii)

C

(i), (ii)

D

(ii), (iii)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Overlap of the orbitals along the axis joining the nuclei produces `sigma` molecular orbitals, while lateral overlap of atomic orbitals forms `pi` molecular orbitals.
