There was a question in my text book which asked some details about pi bonds.
I just have a doubt on a certain option.
π bond does not form due to overlap between $\ce{d_{x^2-y^2}}$ and $\ce{p_y}$ along x axis? True or false?
pi bond does not form due to overlap between $d_ (x^2-y^2)$ and $p_y$ along x axis. is it true or false? Here is a diagram of the orbitals.

This pair of orbitials should be distingished from $d_ (xy)$$\ce{d_{xy}}$ and $p_y$$\ce{p_y}$, which are shown below.
