Question

State True or False.

$\pi$ bond is formed by the colateral overlapping of atomic orbitals.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Sideways overlapping or co lateral overlapping of the two atomic orbitals take place is known as lateral overlap of their 'p' orbital, and the bond formed is known as covalent pi $\left(\pi \right)$ bond. The electron density is concentrated in the region perpendicular to the bond axis in a pi bond.

So answer is A.
