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 $\pi ^*\, MO$.
