NEETChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
Considering the x-axis as the internuclear axis, which out of the following will not form a sigma bond and why? (a) 1s and 1s (b) 1s and 2p x (c) 2p y and 2p y (d) 1s and 2s
Options
- A1s and 1s will not form a sigma bond because they have the same orientation.
- B1s and 2p x will not form a sigma bond because they have different orientations along the x-axis.
- C2p y and 2p y will not form a sigma bond because they have the same orientation.
- D1s and 2s will not form a sigma bond because they have different orientations along the x-axis
Correct answer
B. 1s and 2p x will not form a sigma bond because they have different orientations along the x-axis.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) 1s and 2p x will not form a sigma bond because they have different orientations along the x-axis.
