                Main axis of a diatomic molecule is z, molecular orbital \[{{p}_{x}}\] and \[{{p}_{y}}\] overlaps to form, which of the orbital?

A)                                                                                                                                                                                            \[\pi \]-molecular orbital                                             

B)                 \[\sigma \]-molecular orbital     

C)                 \[\delta \]-molecular orbital                                       

D)                 No bond will form

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

                For \[\pi \] -overlap the lobes of the atomic orbitals are perpendicular to the line joining the nuclei.
