Consider the following statements.

I. In F2F_2 molecule F−F   σ−bondF - F\,\,\,\sigma - {\text{bond}} is formed by axial overlapping of two p-orbitals.

II. In O2O_2 molecule one σ−bond\sigma - {\text{bond}} is formed by axial overlap of p-orbitals and one π−bond\pi - {\text{bond}} is formed by lateral overlap of p-orbitals.

III. In N2N_2 molecule one σ\sigma and two π−bonds,\pi - {\text{bonds,}} i.e., all the three bonds are formed by lateral overlap of p-orbitals.

Which of the above statements are incorrect?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Only III
Option C (Only III) is correct because in N2 molecule, one sigma bond is formed by axial overlap, and two pi bonds are formed by lateral overlap of p-orbitals.
