1. Which statement about a sigma bond is not true?

A. It can form from the interaction of a 1s and a 2p orbital.

B. It involves electron sharing. C. The greatest electron density occurs along the internuclear axis.

D. It does not involve actual bond overlap.

2.

Which statement does not correctly describe a characteristic of a pi bond?

A. It is formed by the side-to-side overlap of p orbitals.

B. It is covalent.

C. The greatest electron density exists along the internuclear axis.

D. The pi bonds form from p orbitals.

Explanation / Answer

1) The first part answer is option(d)

=> since all the statements a,b,c are correct

Sigma bonds allow actual bond overlap and hence the statement "It does not involve actual bond overlap" is incorrect

2) The second part answer is option (c)

=> since all the statements a,b,d are correct

The greatest density is not along internuclear axis, the pi bond is like a bean shaped and the value or probability at the internuclear axis is zero(or lowes) hence the statement is incorrect
