Which consequence results when insufficient electron density impacts molecular orbital overlap?

💡 Explanation

A weak orbital overlap means that the electron density between atoms is reduced, directly diminishing the strength of the covalent bond because attractive forces are lessened. Therefore, a lower bond dissociation energy occurs, rather than increased lifetime in other modes at same temperature.
