← ScienceWhich consequence results when electron correlation introduces configuration interaction in molecular orbitals?
A)Increased electrical conductivity is observed
B)Calculated bond strengths become weaker✓
C)Spectroscopic transitions shift to infrared
D)Molecular geometry becomes computationally intractable
💡 Explanation
Calculated bond strengths weaken because the configuration interaction mechanism allows electrons to occupy multiple configurations, therefore lowering overall electronic energy and reducing the calculated bond order, rather than affecting conductivity or spectroscopic behavior.
