Which consequence results when antibonding orbitals dominate bonding in diatomic sulfur?

💡 Explanation

Increased occupation of antibonding orbitals weakens the bond through destructive interference, causing increased bond length; therefore bond length increases, because electron density decreases within the bonding region, rather than bond strength increasing or reactivity being reduced.
