    Which of the following best describes the diagram of a molecular orbital?  [JEE Online 15-04-2018 (II)]

    A)         A bonding \[\pi \] orbital

    B) A non-bonding orbital

    C) An antibonding \[\sigma \] orbital

    D) An antibonding \[\pi \] orbital

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    An antibonding \[\pi \] orbital best describes the diagram of a molecular orbital. Two p orbitals laterally overlap to form pi bond. Out of phase combination of these two p orbitals give \[\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ *MO}\].
