Question

Assuming all non-hydrogenic atoms undergo hybridization & following are various

categories of orbital overlapping.

$s p^{3} - s p^{3}$ axial overlap $(σ) \to$ Type - A

$sp^{2} - sp^{2}$ axial overlap $(σ) \to$ Type -B

$sp^{3} - sp^{2}$ axial overlap $(σ) \to$ Type - C

p - p lateral overlap ( $π$ ) → Type - D

$p - d$ lateral overlap $(π) \to$ Type - E

Identify the species which contain only 2 of these types (from A to E) of overlapping of orbitals.
