1i just wnt to know that the (t) option in column B corresponds to which options in column A
1357A and B will match with (t)
If you remember the orbital energy diagrams: they are different for (B,N) and O.
The difference is σ(2pz) is higher than(π2px or π2py). Do you know why it is higher if it forms a head on (or axial bond)
This is because the 2s orbital on one atom to interact with the 2pz orbital on the other. This interaction introduces an element of s-p mixing.
