Chapter 9, Problem 9.84QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The validation of the statement that all $\text{π}$ molecular orbitals are formed from the overlap of $p$ atomic orbitals only is to be stated.

Concept introduction: When two atomic orbitals come close to each other they lose their identity and form new pair of orbitals knows as molecular orbitals. Among the two molecular orbitals formed one has energy lower than the atomic orbitals is known as bonding molecular orbital and the other has energy higher than the atomic orbitals and is known as antibonding molecular orbital.

To determine: The validation of the statement that all $\text{π}$ molecular orbitals are formed from the overlap of $p$ atomic orbitals only.
