Question
**Question 10 of 18**

A π bond could be formed from the overlap of which two orbitals?

A) two sp² hybrid orbitals

B) a 1s and a sp² hybrid orbital

C) a sp and a sp² hybrid orbitals

D) two unhybridized p orbitals

**Explanation for Educational Website:**

The question refers to the formation of a π bond, which typically occurs when two unhybridized p orbitals overlap side-by-side. Among the options provided, the correct choice would be option D: "two unhybridized p orbitals." 

A π bond is distinct from a sigma (σ) bond, which is formed by the head-on overlap of orbitals. In the context of hybridization, sp² hybrid orbitals are usually involved in σ bonding, while the unhybridized p orbitals involved in forming π bonds extend above and below the plane of the atoms involved.
