Question

Which one of the following is correct regarding $\sigma$ molecular orbital ?

• A. It is formed by the partial overlap of atomic orbitals at right angle to inter-nuclear axis.
• B. The overlapping region is very less.
• C. It is a very weak bond
• D. The rotation along the inter nuclear axis is symmetric.

Answer 1

The correct option is D The rotation along the inter nuclear axis is symmetric.
