Question

4. A pie bond is formed by the overlap of -------- orbitals
b. S-P
C.P.-Px
d. p - Py
a. S-S​

Answer 1

Answer:

b is correct option

Explanation:

The mutual overlapping between half-filled P orbitals of two atoms is called P−P overlap and the covalent bond form is known as P−P bond, if the overlapping take place along the internuclear axis the bond is called σ bond and if the overlapping take place laterally then the bond is called as Π bond,

P

z

orbital does end to end overlap as P

z

orbitals are along the axis while P

x

and P

y

orbital does sideways overlapping as they are not along the axis, as shown in the image.

So the correct option is [B].
