Question

a π bond could be formed from the overlap of which two
orbitals?
answer:

Explanation:

A π bond is formed by the lateral overlap of two unhybridized p orbitals. Hybrid orbitals (such as \(sp\), \(sp^{2}\), \(1s - sp^{2}\) overlap) form σ bonds. For example, in \(sp^{2}\) - hybridized carbon (like in ethylene \(C_{2}H_{4}\)), the \(sp^{2}\) hybrid orbitals form σ bonds (C - C and C - H), and the unhybridized p orbitals (one on each C atom) overlap sideways to form the π bond.

Answer:

D. two unhybridized \(p\) orbitals
