Question

Explain n answer

Prerna Ahuja · Accepted Answer

Dear Student,

In these statements, statement (3) is the incorrect one The
explanation is given below:

Because
hybrid orbitals are made to match the symmetry of the

incoming atom's atomic orbital for the sake of being
able to bond at all, they

always have to overlap head-on

Thus, a hybrid orbital
has to make a

σ
bond

For example,

In a

triple bond, like in acetylene (

H−C≡C−H
), the

π bonds are
made by the

px
and

py
orbitals, while the

σ bonds are
made with the hybrid orbitals, which consist of only the

pz
and

s orbitals This is
shown below:

Here, the

z axis is defined
as the internuclear axis, whereas the

x and

y axes are
vertical and towards us, respectively

Therefore, statement (3) is inocorrect as hybrid orbitals can only
form sigma bonds and no pi bond
