Molecule in which overlap is of p and p orbitals only:
Correct answer: B. F2
- A. H2
- B. F2
- C. HF
- D. N2
Explanation
Only F2 has an overlap of p and p orbitals only. This is because the fluorine atom has two unpaired electrons in its 2p orbitals. When two fluorine atoms come together, the two 2p orbitals can overlap to form a sigma bond.F9 = Is2 2s2 2px2 2py2 2pz1

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
