← ScienceWhich limitation arises when overlapping atomic orbitals generate antibonding orbitals?
A)Reduced energy molecule stabilization✓
B)Increased intermolecular force distance
C)Enhanced overall bond conductivity
D)Greater intramolecular bond polarisation
💡 Explanation
Destructive interference during orbital overlap creates antibonding orbitals, because they increase the molecule's energy; therefore, stabilization is reduced, rather than enhanced conductivity or polarization resulting from constructive bonding orbital interactions.
