A positive overlap is same as ________(a) out-phase overlap(b) negative overlap(c) zero overlap(d) in-phase overlapI had been asked this question in my homework.The above asked question is from Valence Bond Theory topic in division Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Correct option is (d) in-phase overlap

To explain I WOULD say: A positive overlap results in BOND formation. When 2 p-orbitals are in phase, both the positive lobes overlap, THUS CREATING a positive overlap and result in the bond formation, thus it is called in-phase overlap.
