The main axis of diatomic molecule is z....

The main axis of diatomic molecule is `z`. The orbitals `p_x` and `p_y` overlap to form

A

`pi` molecular orbital

B

`sigma` molecular orbital

C

`delta` molecular orbital

D

no bond will be formed

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Their symmetry does not allow any overlap. Hence no bond is formed.
