Question

Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion A : Zero orbital overlap is an out of phase overlap. Reason : It results due to different orientation/direction of approach of orbitals. In the light of the above statements. Choose the correct answer from the options given below

(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(C) A is true but R is false
(D) A is false but R is true

Correct answer: D) A IS FALSE BUT R IS TRUE. Zero orbital overlap is an out of phase overlap and it results due to improper orientation of orbitals.
