MCQ
$\pi $ bond is formed
  • A
    By overlapping of atomic orbitals on the axis of nuclei
  • B
    By mutual sharing of pi electron
  • By sidewise overlapping of half filled $p-$orbitals
  • D
    By overlapping of $s-$orbitals with $p-$orbitals

Answer

Correct option: C.
By sidewise overlapping of half filled $p-$orbitals
c
If a bond between two atoms is broken when one atom is rotated around the bond axis, that bond is called a pi bond. Pi bonds are formed by the sideways overlap of parallel half filled $p$-orbitals on adjacent atoms as shown in the figure. They are not formed from hybrid orbitals.
