E.

two s orbitals

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A pi bond is formed by a sideways overlap of px and py atomic orbitals. This is common in unsaturated hydrocarbons where one or more p orbitals is left out of the hybridisation scheme. Alkenes are sp2 hybridized while alkynes are so hybridized. The remaining orbitals now overlap in a sideways manner to form pi bonds.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Two non-hybradized p orbitals can overlap to form a pi bond.
