Q. Match the following columns and choose the correct option from the codes given below.
Column I(Representation) Column II(Type)
A image 1 Positive overlap
B image 2 Zero overlap
C image 3 Negative overlap

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

The correct match is $A \rightarrow 2, B \rightarrow 3, C \rightarrow 1$
A image Zero overlap (Out of phase due to different orientation or direction of approach)
B image Negative overlap (Orbitals forming bond have different sign and orientation)
C image Positive overlap (Orbitals forming bond have same sign and orientation in space)
