Bonding formation between two atoms is t...

Bonding formation between two atoms is then envisaged as the progressive overlapping of an atomic orbital from each of the participating atoms, the greater the overlap achieved (the overlap integral), the stronger the bond so formed.
For `sigma` bond formation the relative overlapping power of :

A

s-orbital is greater than p-orbitaJ because s-orbital are closer to nucleus

B

p-orbitals is greater than s-orbital because electrons of p-orbitals are oriented on internuclear axis

C

s-orbitals is greater than p-orbital because of spherical shape of s-orbital

D

p-orbital is greater than s-orbital because electrons of p-orbitals are oriiented on internuclear axis
