The incorrect statement regarding molecular orbital (s) is :

A

If there is a nodal plane perpendicular to the intermoleculear axis and lying between the nuclei of bonded atoms then corresponding orbitals is antibonding M.O.

B

If a nodal plane lies in the inter-nuclear axis, then corresponing orbitals is (pi) bonding M.O.

C

The `sigma`- bonding molecular orbital does not contain nodal planes containing the internuclear axis

D

The `delta`-bonding molecular orbitals possesses three nodal planes containing the internuclear axis

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the incorrect statement about molecular orbitals, we will analyze each option based on the characteristics of different types of molecular orbitals. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Molecular Orbitals**: - Molecular orbitals are formed by the combination of atomic orbitals when atoms bond together. They can be classified into bonding and anti-bonding orbitals based on their stability and nodal planes. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A**: "If there is a nodal plane perpendicular to the inter-nuclear axis and lying between the nuclei of bonded atoms, then the corresponding orbital is an anti-bonding molecular orbital." - This statement is **correct**. Anti-bonding molecular orbitals have a nodal plane that is perpendicular to the inter-nuclear axis. - **Option B**: "If a nodal plane lies in the inter-nuclear axis, then the corresponding orbital is a pi-bonding molecular orbital." - This statement is **correct**. Pi-bonding molecular orbitals contain one nodal plane that lies along the inter-nuclear axis. - **Option C**: "The sigma-bonding molecular orbital does not contain nodal planes containing the inter-nuclear axis." - This statement is **correct**. Sigma-bonding molecular orbitals do not have any nodal planes along the inter-nuclear axis. - **Option D**: "The delta-bonding molecular orbital possesses three nodal planes containing the inter-nuclear axis." - This statement is **incorrect**. Delta-bonding molecular orbitals have only two nodal planes: one in the inter-nuclear axis and another perpendicular to it. 3. **Conclusion**: - The incorrect statement regarding molecular orbitals is **Option D**, which claims that delta-bonding molecular orbitals possess three nodal planes. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement regarding molecular orbitals is **Option D**.
