Unhybrid "p" orbitals on linear overlap:
Correct answer: A. Always form Pi(π) bond
- A. Always form Pi(π) bond
- B. Always form Sigma(σ) bond
- C. Neither form σ nor π bond
- D. Form more reactive and more unstable π bond
Explanation
Unhybridized orbitals can only form π bonds upon sideways or parallel overlap and cannot form sigma bonds.

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.
