Q8: According to VBT, the formation of a stable bond requires_________
(A) The electrons should have opposite spins

(B) The two atoms should be close to each other

(C) The greater overlapping of the electron clouds

(D) All of the mentioned

Solution:

According to VBT, when two atoms come closer to each other with opposite electron spins, due to mutual
rearrangements (or overlapping) of their electron clouds, energy changes are produced.
Q9: The s-orbital does not show preference to any direction because__________

Q12: According to VBT, the direction of a bond which is formed due to overlapping will
be_______
(A) In the same direction in which orbitals are concentrated

(B) In the opposite direction in which orbitals are concentrated

(C) Perpendicular to the direction in which orbitals are concentrated

(D) None of the mentioned

Solution:

The direction of the bond formed will be in that direction in which the orbitals are concentrated. For Example: when two
Px orbitals overlap, the bond is formed along the x-axis.
