Which of the following combination is not allowed in the `LCAO` method for the formation of molecular orbital (consider Z-axis as the molecular axis) ? .

A

`s+p_(x)`

B

`s+p_(z)`

C

`p_(x)+p_(x)`

D

`p_(z)+p_(z)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
s and `p_(x)` orbitals do not have proper orientation to overlap and hence MO is not formed
