Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

(P) Sidewise overlap of p orbitals → π system

Shows both bonding + antibonding nature
So it gives p–p π ABMO + symmetric overlap (gerade MO)
Matches: (3), (5)

(Q)

d orbitals overlapping sidewise
Gives π bonding MO of d–d type
Matches: (2)

(R)

End-on overlap of d orbitals
Produces σ bonding + antibonding features in MO diagram
Also shows gerade symmetry + ABMO character
Matches: (1), (5)

(S)

End-to-end overlap of p orbitals
Gives σ bond formation
Also shows gerade MO formation
Matches: (4), (5)
