← ScienceWhich consequence results when a molecular orbital's wave-function lacks symmetry required in Hückel theory?
A)Resonance energy is accurately computed
B)Accurate predictions of reactivity increase
C)Linear combination integrals vanish✓
D)Bond order calculations become simplified
💡 Explanation
Zero overlap occurs because the linear combination of atomic orbitals integrals vanishes due to symmetry mismatch; therefore the simplification fails, rather than accurately calculating interactions or improving bond order which require appropriate function symmetry.
