Pi-bond is formed by sideways overlap of _?
Correct answer: B. p-orbitals
- A. s-orbitals
- B. p-orbitals
- C. d-orbitals
- D. None of the given options
Explanation
The π bond is formed by the side-by-side overlap of the two unhybridized p orbitals in the two carbon atoms. The two lobes of the π bond are above and below the plane of the σ system.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
