Vedclass · Answer

(D) In molecular orbital theory,the $\pi$ bond is formed by the lateral (sideways) overlap of atomic orbitals. Option $A$ correctly shows the lateral overlap of two $p$-orbitals forming a $\pi_{2p}$ bond. Options $B$ and $C$ represent the same lateral overlap of $d$-orbitals to form a $\pi_{3d}$ bond. Option $D$ shows an incorrect representation for the antibonding $\pi^*_{3d}$ orbital,as the phase relationship and nodal planes do not correspond to the standard antibonding $\pi$ orbital structure for $d$-orbitals.
