← ScienceWhich consequence results when insufficient electron density impacts molecular orbital overlap?
A)Decreased bond dissociation energy✓
B)Increased vibrational mode lifetime
C)Enhanced electron transport mobility
D)Elevated material refractive index
💡 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.
