Match the orbital overlap figure in List I with the description given in List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists.

Options

A. `{:(p,q,r,s),(2,1,3,4):}`
B. `{:(p,q,r,s),(4,3,1,2):}`
C. `{:(p,q,r,s),(2,3,1,4):}`
D. `{:(p,q,r,s),(4,1,3,2):}`

Answer

C

Explanation

This problem includes basic concept of bonding. It can be solved by using the concept of molecular orbital theory

Any orbitals has two phase +ve and –ve. In the following diagram, +ve phase is shown by darkening the lobes and –ve by without darkening the lobes.

When two same phase overlap with each other, it forms bonding molecular orbital otherwise antibonding.

On the basis of above two concepts, correct matching can be done as shown below:

Hence, (C) is the correct option.
