Science

Which consequence results when excessive orbital hybridization occurs in a chemical reaction?

A)Decreased reaction activation energy
B)Reduced molecular dipole moment
C)Increased steric hindrance effects
D)Enhanced London dispersion forces

💡 Explanation

Increased orbital hybridization leads to more bulky molecular structures; steric hindrance increases because overlapping electron clouds repel each other, therefore impeding reactant approach, rather than altering activation energy or intermolecular forces.
