As we have learnt,

 

Bonding and Antibonding molecular orbital -

\sigma =\Psi _{A}+\Psi _{B}                           \sigma is called bonding molecular orbital

\sigma ^{\ast }=\Psi _{A}-\Psi _{B}                         \sigma^{\ast } is called antibonding molecular orbital

-

 

 

is describing the antibonding \pi-orbitial


Option 1)

A non-bonding orbital

Option 2)

An antibonding \sigma orbital

Option 3)

A bonding \pi orbital

Option 4)

An antibonding \pi orbital
