← ScienceWhich consequence results when the oxygen molecule's antibonding orbitals are populated?
A)Increased bond length and instability✓
B)Enhanced bond order and stability
C)Decreased paramagnetism and reactivity
D)Significant blue shift in spectra
💡 Explanation
Increased bond length and instability results because populating antibonding orbitals reduces the bond order via destructive interference rather than constructive. Therefore increased vibrations weaken the bond, rather than causing stabilization in ground state configurations.
