← ScienceWhich bond weakening occurs when antibonding orbitals fill?
A)Decreased bond order number results✓
B)Increased bond dissociation energy ends
C)Shorter internuclear distances will start
D)Enhanced sigma bond framework occurs
💡 Explanation
Filling antibonding orbitals decreases the bond order because destructive interference removes electron density between nuclei. Therefore, the bond order decreases, leading to weaker bonds with less stability, rather than strengthened frameworks as with bonding orbitals.
