MCQ
A sigma bond is formed by the overlapping of:
- As − s orbital alone
- Bs and p orbital alone.
- Cs − s, s − p or p − p orbital along internuclear axis.
- Dp − p orbital along the sides.
✓
Answer
- s − s, s − p or p − p orbital along internuclear axis.
Explanation:
A sigma bond is formed by the overlapping of s − s, s − p or p − p orbital along inter-nuclear axis. On the other hand, the lateral overlap of p − p orbitals gives a pi bond.
