In valence bond theory, the pi bond between the two oxygen atoms in O, results from: the overlap the 2s orbitals from each oxygen atom. the side-to-side overlap of the a 2s orbital from one oxygen atom wvith the two lobes of a 2p orbital from the other oxygen atom. the side-to-side overlap of the two lobes of a 2p orbital from each oxygen atom. the overlap of a 2s orbital from one oxygen atom with one lobe of a 2p orbital from the other oxygen atom. O the lengthwise overlap of two sp orbitals from each oxygen atom. hulu aer $. 4
