Q. Main axis of a diatomic molecule is $Z$, molecular orbital $p_x $ and $ p_y$ overlaps to form, which of the following orbitals?

KCETKCET 2016Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

If the main axis of diatomic molecule is $Z$ axis, then the orbitals $P _{ x }$ and $P _{ y }$ overlap to form $\pi$ bond.
