Which of the following orbital overlap is allowed?
Which of the following orbital overlap is allowed?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D
Overlap of the lobes of same sign (phase) leads to the positive overlap. It leads to attractive interactions.
Zero overlap is caused when there is no overlap between lobes of orbitals.
Negative overlap involves the lobes of opposite sign (phase).
So, only positive overlaps are allowed.
