pi ( π ) bond is formed by the overlap of
Options
- Ap-p orbitals
- Bs-s orbitals
- Cs-p orbitals
- Ds-d orbitals
Correct answer
A. p-p orbitals
Step-by-step solution
In the formation of pi bond the atomic orbitals overlap in such a way that their axes remain parallel to each other and perpendicular to the internuclear axis. The orbitals formed due to sidewise overlapping consist of two saucer type charged clouds above and below the plane of the participating atoms.
