← ScienceWhich consequence results when exceeding transition metal complex orbital filling thresholds?
A)Paramagnetism diminishes into diamagnetism
B)Ligand field splitting becomes negligible
C)Electrochemical potential is unpredictably increased
D)Metal-ligand bond strength surprisingly decreases✓
💡 Explanation
Exceeding orbital filling threshold induces population of antibonding molecular orbitals, because molecular orbital theory shows antibonding orbitals weaken the complex stability; therefore, bond strength decreases, rather than other electronic or electrochemical property shifts.
