← ScienceWhich consequence results when repulsive forces dominate within valence atomic orbitals?
A)Destructive interference forms antibonding orbitals✓
B)Metallic character greatly improves in elements
C)Superconductivity occurs above critical temperatures
D)Inert complexes quickly form spontaneously anyway
💡 Explanation
Antibonding orbitals form via destructive interference because increased repulsive forces between electrons cause wave functions to combine out of phase. Therefore, antibonding formations, rather than stabilization of materials, is the outcome when repulsion dominates bonding interactions.
