The correct Answer is:
To determine which combinations of orbitals cannot form a bond, we will analyze each option based on the type of overlap that occurs between the orbitals. The key types of overlaps are head-on overlap (which can form sigma bonds) and sidewise overlap (which can form pi bonds). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Combinations**: We have four combinations of orbitals to analyze: - Option 1: s + pz - Option 2: s + s - Option 3: pz + px - Option 4: dxy + py 2. **Analyze Option 1: s + pz**: - The s orbital is spherical and can overlap with the pz orbital (which is oriented along the z-axis) only in a head-on manner. However, the pz orbital cannot effectively overlap with the s orbital in a sidewise manner. - **Conclusion**: This combination cannot form a bond. 3. **Analyze Option 2: s + s**: - Two s orbitals can overlap in a head-on manner. This overlap is effective and allows for bonding. - **Conclusion**: This combination can form a bond. 4. **Analyze Option 3: pz + px**: - The pz and px orbitals are oriented along different axes (z and x respectively). They cannot overlap effectively in a head-on manner, nor can they form a sidewise overlap that would allow for bonding. - **Conclusion**: This combination cannot form a bond. 5. **Analyze Option 4: dxy + py**: - The dxy orbital has a specific orientation in the xy-plane, while the py orbital is oriented along the y-axis. These orbitals can overlap effectively, allowing for bonding. - **Conclusion**: This combination can form a bond. ### Final Answer: The combinations of orbitals that cannot form a bond are: - Option 1: s + pz - Option 3: pz + px Thus, the answer is **1 and 3**.
