Question

Assuming z axis as the intermolecular axis. On.Overlapping of which molecular orbital forms sigma bond

Answer 1

Answer:

1)If two atomic orbitals overlap along the internuclear axis ,the molecular orbital formed is called σ molecular orbital. 2)If two atomic orbitals overlap sideways, the molecular orbital formed is called π molecular orbital.

Answer 2

Answer:

The other two sp2 hybrid orbitals of each carbon atom overlap axially with its orbital of the hydrogen atom to form sigma (σ) C - H bonds. The unhybridized p-orbitals of the two carbon atoms overlap sidewise with each other to form weak pi ( ) bond
