← ScienceWhich consequence results when atomic *p* orbitals overlap?
A)Bonding or antibonding molecular orbitals✓
B)Increased nuclear electron shielding
C)Increased electron ionization energy
D)Vibrational energy level modifications
💡 Explanation
Overlapping *p* orbitals form sigma or pi molecular orbitals via linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) because constructive or destructive interference occurs; therefore bonding or antibonding orbitals result, rather than effects on nuclear shielding or energy.
