Q. Rules of hybridization say that hybrid orbitals form only sigma bonds. However, unsaturated hydrocarbons like (ethylene and acetylene) possess multiple bonds between carbons.

Q. Find the number of delta bonding molecular orbital from the following set if z is the inter-nuclear axis :

d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}

d_{x z}, d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}

d_{x z}

Q. Find the number of non-bonding molecular orbital from the following set if z is the internuclear axis :

d_{y z}

d_{z^{2}}, d_{y z}

d_{x z}, d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}

d_{x y}, d_{x z}

d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}

Q. Consider the following statements:
I.A sigma

(σ)

bond is formed when two s-orbitals overlap.
II.A

p i (π)

bond is formed when two p-orbitals axially overlap.
III.A

π -

bond.
Which of the above statement is/are correct?

Q. Assertion :If

d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}

p_{y}

orbitals come close together along z-axis, they can form It-bond by sideways overlapping. Reason: Both orbitals do not have electron density along z-axis.
