According to VBT any covalent bond will be formed by overlapping of atomic orbitals of bonded atoms — Chemical Bonding Chemistry Question
Question
According to VBT any covalent bond will be formed by overlapping of atomic orbitals of bonded atoms provided atomic orbitals must be half-filled and electrons be in opposite spin. According to type of overlapping covalent bonds can be classified as (a) $\sigma$-bond (b) $\pi$-bond (c) $\delta$-bond:
Answer: D
💡 Solution & Explanation
(a) py + dx^2-y^2 can produce non-bonding if axis is x, y or z; (b) pz + dyz can produce non-bonding if axis is x, y or z; (c) s + dxz will always form non-bonding; (d) dxy + dxy forms $\pi$-bond if axis is x/y or $\delta$-bond if axis is z.
