According to Valence bond theory, a bond between two atoms is formed when

A

fully filled atomic orbitals overlap

B

half filled atomic orbitals overlap

C

non-bonding atomic orbitals overlap

D

empty atomic orbitals overlap

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
The Valence bond theory focuses on how the atomic orbitals of the dissociated atoms combine to give individual chemical bonds when a molecule is formed. According to Valence bond theory, a bond between two atoms is formed when overlapping of half filled valence atomic orbitals of each atom containing one unpaired electron.
