Step 1
Step 2: The second case involves the sidewise overlap of two p atomic orbitals, resulting in a pi molecular orbital. Step 3: The third case involves the overlap of a p orbital with opposite sides, resulting in a sigma* p molecular orbital. Step 4: The final Show more…

Draw the orbital overlap diagram showing all bonds and lone pairs. Label each of the bond in the molecule as sigma or pi. For the sigma bonds show the formation of the bond using notation that specifies the type of overlapping orbitals. :N ≡ N – Ö: and :N̈ – N ≡ O:
