Assertion . Both `pi(2p_(x)) and pi^(**) (2p_(x))` molecular orbitals have one nodal plane each . Reason. All molecular orbitals formed by sideway overlapping of 2 p orbitals have one nodal plane.A. If both assertion and reason are correct, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are correct , but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.C. If assertion is correct, but reason is incorrect .D. If both assertion and reason are incorrect.

Answer» Correct Answer - d
Correct A . `pi (2p_(x))` has one nodal plane whereas
` pi^(**) (2p_(x))` has two nodal planes .
Correct R. Bonding `pi-`molecular orbitals have one
nodal plane whereas antibonding `pi`-molecular
orbitals have two nodal planes.
