According to valence bond theory, sharing of electrons during the formation of covalent bond results from the ____________of orbitals from two reacting atomsA. additionB. substractionC. both (1) and (2)D. overlap

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The basic idea of the valence bond `(VB)` theory which describes how bonding occurs is that atomic orbitals must overlap for electrons to be shared. Valence bond theory accounts (at least qualitatively) for the stability of the covalent bond in terms of overlapping atomic orbitals.
