Which consequence results when promoting an electron from an antibonding molecular orbital to LUMO?

💡 Explanation

Reduced bond order stability occurs because populating antibonding orbitals weakens molecular stability. The constructive interference no longer dominates; rather than stabilizing the molecule, electron repulsion destabilizes it, therefore the bond order weakens.
