The existence of H22+is not possible because
Correct answer: D. No H-H bond would form
- A. It would be disproportion
- B. It would be ratio active
- C. It violates the pauli exclusion principle
- D. No H-H bond would form
Explanation
H22+ cannot be formed as it will be a very unstable structure due to the fact that there would be no bond between H-H

About Sigma and Pi Bonds
A sigma bond forms by direct end-to-end overlap along the internuclear axis, whereas a pi bond forms by sideways overlap of parallel orbitals. The topic covers single, double and triple bonds, bond composition, restricted rotation and the relation between sigma and pi bonding and orbital hybridisation.
