It is importantto note that atomic orbitals having sameor nearly the same energy will not combineif they do not have the same symmetry.For example, 2pz orbital of one atom cancombine with 2pz orbital of the other atombut not with the 2px or 2py orbitals becauseof their different symmetries.My Question iswhat this symmetries means & I need Pictorial representation?

symmetry leads to stability, you can simply understand that orbitals which have less difference in their energies will combine readily. so 2pz would combine 2pz.
