The d-orbitals can also form sigma, pi, and delta type bonds in transition metal

Question

The d-orbitals can also form sigma, pi, and delta type bonds in transition metals. For example, the sigma bonds are formed from d_z^2 atomic orbitals (AO), the pi bonds from d_xz and d_yz AOs, and the delta bonds from d_xy and d_x^2 - y^2 AOs. Determine g, mu designations for the MOs formed from: A pair of d_z^2 AOs. ie. i psi_bond(d_z^2) = ? psi_bond(d_z^2) The pairs d_xz - d_xz and d_yz - d_yz. d_xy - d_xy and d_x^2 - y^2 Show that the psi_antibond orbitals formed from d_z^2 pairs and d_xy pairs give; sigma_d psi_antibond = -1 psi_antibond

Explanation / Answer

P orbital forms ungerade orbitals because of it has not symmetric distribution of electron

.d orbital forms gerade orbitals due to symmetri distribution of electron

Orbital has said to be symmetry elemants if it has axis of symmetry or plane of symmetry
