← ScienceWhich consequence results when incorrect symmetries combine atomic orbitals?
A)Constructive antibonding disables resonance
B)Destructive interference inhibits bonding✓
C)Molecular dipole reinforces cohesion
D)Vibrational frequency induces hybridization
💡 Explanation
Destructive interference occurs because atomic orbitals with mismatched symmetries cancel out during linear combination, therefore, bonding is inhibited rather than reinforced for structures where symmetry matching is necessary. The net electronic density is reduced.
