Question

Consider the following statements.I. In $$F2$$ molecule $$F-F$$σ$$-bond$$ is formed by axial overlapping of two $$p-orbitals$$.Il. In $$O2$$ molecule one σ$$-bond$$ is formed by axial overlap of $$p-orbitals$$ and one π$$-bond$$ is formed by lateral overlap of $$p-orbitals$$.III. In $$N2$$ molecule one σ and two π$$-bonds$$, i.e. all the three bonds ate formed by lateral overlap of $$p-orbitals$$.Which of the above statements are incorrect?

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

The correct III statement is, in $$N2$$ molecule one σ$$-bond$$ is formed by axial overlapping of $$p-orbitals$$ and $$2$$π bonds are formed by lateral overlapping of $$p-orbitals$$. Rest all the statements are correct.
