Which electronic behavior results when molecular orbitals interact?

💡 Explanation

Interference leads to constructive and destructive interactions forming bonding and antibonding orbitals; because the wave functions either add or subtract. Therefore bonding increases stability, rather than degeneracy changes or reducing repulsions which describe Hund's rule and VSEPR, respectively.
