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 $R$: 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.

Which one is stronger,$\sigma$ bond or $\pi$ bond? Why?

Match the orbital overlap figures shown in List-$I$ with the description given in List-$II$ and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists.
List-$I$:
$P$. Two $d$-orbitals overlapping axially with same phase.
$Q$. $A$ $p$-orbital and a $d$-orbital overlapping laterally with same phase.
$R$. $A$ $p$-orbital and a $d$-orbital overlapping laterally with opposite phase.
$S$. Two $d$-orbitals overlapping axially with opposite phase.
List-$II$:
$1$. $p-d$ $\pi$ antibonding
$2$. $d-d$ $\sigma$ bonding
$3$. $p-d$ $\pi$ bonding
$4$. $d-d$ $\sigma$ antibonding
Codes: $P \quad Q \quad R \quad S$
