← ScienceWhich consequence results when internal polarization weakens a bond?
A)Increased electron-electron repulsion occurs✓
B)Stronger van der Waals forces emerge
C)Enhanced metallic character develops
D)Decreased thermal conductivity arises
💡 Explanation
Increased electron-electron repulsion occurs because weakening internal polarization reduces the shielding between positively charged nuclei held together by covalent bond, the mechanism here is weakened shielding; therefore repulsion increases, rather than stabilizing forces or metallic changes.
