Chemistry - CHEMICAL BONDING Question with Solution | TestHub

Better overlap → stronger bond

Order generally:

s–s < s–p < p–p ( correct trend)

Smaller orbitals overlap better

(A) ns–ns < ns–np < np–np correct

(B) Lower n → better overlap correct

(C) π bond strength decreases with increasing n correct

(D) npπ–npπ > npπ–ndπ < ndπ–ndπ incorrect order
