Main axis of a diatomic molecule is Z. \[A{O}'s\] \[{{p}_{x}}\]and \[{{p}_{y}}\] overlap to form which of the following orbitals?

A) \[\pi -MO\]                    

B) \[\sigma -MO\]

C) \[\delta -MO\]                

D) No bond will form

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

[d]\[{{p}_{x}}\]and \[{{p}_{y}}\]orbitals do not have proper orientation to overlap and hence no bond is formed.
