\[pi(\pi )\]bond is formed by the overlap of

A)  p-p orbitals                

B)  s-s orbitals

C)  s-p orbitals                 

D)  s-d orbitals

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

In the formation of pi bond the atomic orbitals overlap in such a way that their axes remain parallel to each other and perpendicular to the internuclear axis. The orbitals formed due to sidewise overlapping consists of two saucer type charged clouds above and below the plane of the participating atoms. Hence, the correct option is [a].
