4.Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
hard
The linear combination of atomic orbitals to form molecular orbitals takes place only when the combining atomic orbitals
$A$. have the same energy
$B$. have the minimum overlap
$C$. have same symmetry about the molecular axis
$D$. have different symmetry about the molecular axis
Choose the most appropriate from the options given below:
A
$A, B, C$ only
B
$A$ and $C$ only
C
$B, C, D$ only
D
$B$ and $D$ only
(JEE MAIN-2024)
Solution
* Molecular orbital should have maximum overlap
* Symmetry about the molecular axis should be similar
