Which consequence results when repulsive configurations overwhelm molecular orbital overlap?

💡 Explanation

Anti-bonding orbitals become dominant because destructive interference reduces electron density between atoms, therefore destabilizing the molecule leading to anti-bonding orbital destabilization, rather than stabilizing it as in bonding orbitals under favorable conditions.
