Chapter 20, Problem 108CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Two structures of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{PO}}_{\text{3}}$ is given. A picture is to be drawn to show the overlapping of $\text{d}$ orbital and $\text{p}$ orbital in the first structure to form $\text{π}$ bond.

Concept introduction: The bond that is formed due to side to side overlap is known as pie bond.

To determine: A pictorial representation to show the overlapping of $\text{d}$ orbital and $\text{p}$ orbital in the first structure of ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{PO}}_{\text{3}}$ to form $\text{π}$ bond
