Question
Considering x-axis as the internuclear axis which out of the following will not form a sigma bond and why? (a) 1s and 1s (b) 1s and 2px (c) 2py and 2py (d) 1s and 2s.
Solution
2py and 2py orbitals will not a form a sigma bond. Taking x-axis as the internuclear axis, 2py and 2py orbitals will undergo lateral overlapping, thereby forming a pi (π) bond.
