Question

Head-on overlapping of two p-orbitals result in the formation of sigma bond(s).

• A. one
• B. two
• C. three

Answer 1

The correct option is A one

Head-on overlapping of orbitals result in the formation of sigma bond. When two atoms interact, only one sigma bond formation is possible. However we can have one or more than one pi bonds between two atoms in a molecule.

So, head-on overlapping of two p-orbitals result in the formation of only one sigma bond.
