The main axis of diatomic molecule is z....

The main axis of diatomic molecule is `z`. The orbitals `p_x` and `p_y` overlap to form

A

`pi - `molecular orbital

B

`sigma` -molecular orbital

C

`delta`- molecular orbital

D

No bond is formed

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The `p_x and p_y` orbitals do not overlap thus, no bond is formed.

According to MOT, two atomic orbitals overlap resulting in the formation of molecular orbital formed. Number of atomic orbitals overlapping together is equal to the molecule orbital formed. The two atomic orbital thus formed by LCAO (linear combination of atomic orbital) in the phase or in the different phase are known as bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals respectively. The energy of bonding molecular orbital is lower than that of the pure atomic orbitals by an amount Delta . This known as the stabilization energy. The enerby of antibonding molecular orbital in increased by Delta' (destabilisation energy). Q. If x-axis is the molecular axis, then pi -moleulcar orbitals are formed by the overlap of :
