What sort of bonds are made from the following orbitals being overlapped? Think I'm right - would someone mind confirming it for me? Ta

a. two 2py orbitals - overlap exactly so I have a pi bond

b. two 3dxy orbitals - they overlap exactly so they form pi bonds but how many? 2 ?

c. 3dxz and 2pz orbital - they don't overlap therefore no bond formed

Thanks!

I think option no A. "two 2py orbitals - overlap exactly so I have a pi bond".
