Fluorine molecule is formed by

A

the axial `p-p` overlap

B

the sideways `p-p` overlap

C

the axial `s-p` overlap

D

the overlap of two `sp^2` hybrid orbitals

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The electronic configuration of F is `1s^2 2s^2 2p^5`:

Therefore, `F_2` molecule is formed by the axial (head-on) overlap of p orbitals.
