Question
Which of the following descriptions of a
sigma bond (according to valence bond
theory) is NOT CORRECT?
Select one:
OA. A sigma bond is formed when two
adjacent, parallel p orbitals overlap
along their sides.
O B. When a sigma bond is formed, a
shared electron pair lies on the
bond axis of adjacent, bonded
atoms.
OC. A sigma bond is formed between
adjacent atoms when hybrid
orbitals, co-linear with the bond
axis, overlap.
O D. A sigma bond is formed when an s
orbital overlaps with a hybrid
orbital.
