← ScienceWhich mechanism reduces binding energy within oxygen difluoride, OF2?
A)Hybrid orbital antibonding repulsion✓
B)Sigma bond non-orthogonality
C)Increased electronegativity stabilization
D)Pi bond conjugation resonance
💡 Explanation
Hybrid orbital antibonding repulsion diminishes the binding energy within OF2; it occurs because fluorine's high electronegativity draws electron density, therefore the increased electron density in antibonding orbitals causes repulsion rather than sigma bond formation alone.
