← ScienceWhich consequence results when misaligned orbitals cause bond weakening?
A)Increased molecular rotational freedom arises✓
B)Decreased dipole moment occurs instead
C)Reduced reaction activation energy results
D)Enhanced intermolecular attraction develops then
💡 Explanation
Reduced overlap weakens the sigma bond because increased misalignment reduces constructive interference leading to Antibonding. Therefore rotational freedom increases rather than a stronger dipole because electronic constraints are weakened.
