If z-axis is the molecular axis, then π - molecular orbitals are formed by the overlap of 
  1. s + pz
  2. px + py
  3. pz + pz
  4. px + px 

Dear Student,

If z-axis is the molecular axis, then pi-molecular orbitals are formed by overlap of Px and Py. The orbitals perpendicular to the axis takes part in overlapping for pi-molecular orbitals formation. Correct option is 2.
