MHT CET 2026 Chemistry question

Which of the following statements regarding Pi () bond is NOT true ?

(A)It is weaker than sigma bond.
(B)It is formed by lateral overlapping of two half filled P orbitals.
(C)It is formed after the formation of sigma bond.
(D)The presence of Pi () bond increases the bond length of covalent bond.Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

(A) True: lateral (sideways) overlap is less effective than the head-on overlap of a sigma bond, so a bond is weaker. (B) True: a bond arises from lateral overlap of two half-filled p orbitals (e.g. -). (C) True: a sigma bond forms first (it allows rotation to
