Which mechanism hinders complete electron delocalization in molecules with non-planar geometry?

💡 Explanation

Steric Inhibition of Resonance restricts coplanarity because bulky groups disrupt the alignment of p-orbitals required for π-electron delocalization; therefore resonance is limited, rather than enhanced by vibrations or inductive effects, leading to less molecular stability.
