Main axis of a diatomic molecule is Z. AO's $p_{x}$ and $p_{y}$ overlap to form which of the following orbitals?

1. $\pi$ -MO
2. $\sigma-\mathrm{MO}$
3. $\delta-\mathrm{MO}$
4. No bond will form

Solution

$p_{x}$ and $p_{y}$ orbitals do not have proper orientation to overlap and hence no bond is formed.
