Consider the following three orbitals :

Correct statement(s) regarding given information is /are :

Options

A. Orbitals (i) and (ii) can never form any type of covalent bond
B. If internuclear axis is x, then combination of (ii) and (iii) orbitals can form `pi`- bond
C. Orbital (iii) can form `delta`- bond with other orbital having same orientation of lobes
D. If internuclear axis is 'x', then combination of (i) and (iii) orbitals can form `pi` - bond

Answer

A, C, D

Explanation

`(a) p_(z)+p_(y) implies `Non-bonding if internuclear axis is x-axis
(b) `p_(y)+d_(xz) implies ` Form non-bonding if internuclear axis is x-axis
(c ) `d_(xz)+d_(xz) implies` Can form `delta`-bond if internuclear axis is y-axis
(d) `p_(z)+d_(xz) implies ` CAn form `pi` bond, if internuclear axis is x-axis.
