NEETChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
What is the primary result of the overlap between the sp hybridised orbitals and the 2p-orbitals of chlorine?
Options
- AFormation of pi bonds
- BFormation of sigma bonds
- CFormation of nonpolar bonds
- DFormation of unstable compounds
Correct answer
B. Formation of sigma bonds
Step-by-step solution
The overlap between the sp hybridised orbitals and the 2p-orbitals of chlorine results in the formation of two Be-Cl sigma bonds
