Which consequence results when sigma (σ) bond order changes?

💡 Explanation

Changes in sigma bond order directly modify occupancy of bonding molecular orbitals because increased bond order affects the potential energy surface; therefore rotational energy levels change rather than altering only vibronic coupling with vibrational modes that are less directly affected.
