Which orbitals form a pi bond? A. The s orbital and three p orbitals B. The s orbital and two p orbitals C. Overlapping p orbitals D. Overlapping hybrid orbitals

Respuesta :

Answer:

C.  overlapping  p orbitals.

Explanation:

It is a covalent bond formed between neighbouring atom's unbonded p orbitals,

Overlapping of p-orbitals form a pi-bond. Hence, Option (C) is correct.

What is Pi - Bond ?

In chemistry, pi bonds are covalent chemical bonds, in each of which two lobes of an orbital on one atom overlap with two lobes of an orbital on another atom, and in which this overlap occurs laterally.

Lateral overlapping is only possible with P-Orbitals.

Therefore, Overlapping of p-orbitals form a pi-bond. Hence, Option (C) is correct.
