4.Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
medium
Which of the following best describes the diagram of molecular orbital?

A
A bonding $\pi $ orbital
B
A non - bonding orbital
C
An antibonding $\sigma $ orbital
D
An antibonding $\pi $ orbital
(JEE MAIN-2018)
Solution
An antibonding $\pi $ orbital best describes the diagram of a molecular orbital. Two orbitals laterally overlap to form pi bond. Out of phase combination, of these two $p-$ orbitals, give $\pi ^*\, MO$.
