HARD
For diatomic molecules, the correct statement(s) about the molecular orbitals formed by the overlap of two 2pz orbitals is(are)
EASY
After understanding the assertion and reason, choose the correct option.

Assertion: In the bonding molecular orbital (MO) of H 2 , electron density is increased between the nuclei.
Reason: The bonding MO is ψA+ψB , which shows destructive interference of the combining electron waves.
