← ScienceWhich consequence results when excessive repulsive forces overcome attraction in a covalent molecular bond?
A)Bond length rapidly increases drastically✓
B)Increase in the bonds kinetic energy
C)Diamagnetic properties are temporarily induced
D)Increase in overall bond order
💡 Explanation
Excessive repulsion leads to bond breaking because it increases potential energy, driving the **vibrational excitation** until it exceeds the bond energy; therefore bond length increases drastically, rather than maintaining diamagnetism under stable or compression without bond rupture.
