Question

can px and dxy form bond?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, they can form bond.

Explanation:

But they can form pi bond only and that also while bonding along y axis.

Answer 2

Yes,px and dxy  can form bond.

Explanation:

1.They can form pi bond only and that also while bonding along y axis.

2.The px orbitals and the py orbitals are perpendicular to the bond axis and by definition, are parallel to the comparible p orbitals on the neighboring atom so these can overlap side-to-side to form a pi bond.

3.The overlap of two dxy orbitals along the y-axis constructively (in the same phase). There are four lobes overlapping, which would lead to a total of two nodal planes. Such a bond is a speciality of d orbitals and it is called the delta (δ) bond.
