Main axis of diatomic molecule is Z. The orbitals `P_x` and `P_y` overlap to form

A

`Pi` - molecular orbital

B

`sigma` - molecualr orbital

C

`delta`- molecular orbital

D

no nond is formed

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
The `P_(x)` and `P_(y)` orbitals do not overlap thus no bond is formed .
