← ScienceWhich consequence results when repulsive forces dominate in antibonding orbitals?
A)Increased molecular bond length✓
B)Enhanced electron delocalization pathways
C)Stabilized molecular resonance structures
D)Decreased excitation energy requirement
💡 Explanation
Increased bond length occurs when antibonding interactions are dominant, caused by increased node presence; the **increased antibonding character** destabilizes attraction. Therefore, bond length significantly increases rather than electron delocalization which requires attraction, and this only occurs in constructive conditions.
