Main axis of a diatomic molecule is z, molecular orbital \[{{p}_{x}}\] and \[{{p}_{y}}\] overlaps to form, which of the orbital?                                                                                                                               [AIPMT 2001]

A)  \[\pi -\]molecular orbital 

B)  \[\sigma -\]molecular orbital

C)       \[\delta -\]molecular orbital

D)       No bond will form

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

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