Question

During the formation of following molecules which orbitals overlaps:

i) H–1

ii) Cl–F

iii) Br–Cl
​

Answer 1

During formation of molecules the overlapping of chlorine and fluorine orbital takes place.

Option b

Explanation:

• the overlap of the orbital takes place during the formation of the covalent bond between chlorine and fluorine. this makes it relative the unstable compound. However this is still formed because of the axis of the electron that is present in both of the the ions.

• The  empty orbitals are filled by the electrons which are present in the orbital of the other halogen.

Answer 2

Answer:

When two atoms combine together to form a covalent bond, their energy is minimum when they are so close to each other that theirorbitals are partially merged. This partial merging of atomic orbitals is known as orbital overlappingor overlapping of atomic orbitals.
