← ScienceWhich energy shift accompanies electron delocalization in benzene?
A)Stabilization lowers molecular orbital energy✓
B)Destabilization raises molecular orbital energy
C)Hybridization decreases atomic orbital occupation
D)Resonance increases sigma bond strength
💡 Explanation
Electron delocalization within benzene rings causes stabilization because it allows electrons to occupy lower energy molecular orbitals via resonance, therefore overall molecular energy decreases rather than increases through destabilization or altered hybridization.
