Which one of the following statements is correct?

Options

A. Hybrid orbitals do not form `sigma` bonds
B. Lateral overlap of p-orbitals or p-and d-orbitals produces `pi`-bonds
C. order`sigma_(p-p)ltsigma_(s-s)ltpi_(p-p)`
D. s-orbitals do not form o bonds

Answer

(b)

Explanation

(a) Hybrid orbitals form only sigma-bonds
(b) Lateral overlap of p-orbitals or p and d - orbitals produces `pi`-bonds.
(c) The strength of bonds follows the order `pi_(p-p)ltsigma_(p-p)ltsigma_(s-p)ltsigma_(p-p)`
(d) S-orbitals form only`sigma`bonds
