Subjective Type

Considering $$x-$$axis as the internuclear axis, the overlap of which of the following orbitals will not form a sigma bond and why? (a) $$1s$$ and $$2s$$ (b) $$1s$$ and $$ \displaystyle 2 p_{x}$$ (c) $$ \displaystyle 2p_{y}$$ and $$ \displaystyle 2p_{y} $$ (d) $$1s$$ and $$2s$$

Solution

The combination $$c$$ will not result in the formation of sigma bond as it will result in sideways overlap.
This will result in the formation of $$\pi$$ bond. In the options $$a, b$$ and $$d$$, sigma bond will be formed.
