← ScienceWhich outcome arises when localized molecular orbitals sufficiently overlap?
A)Increased electron delocalization and stability✓
B)Decreased bond order and reactivity
C)Reduced ionization energy is observed
D)Complete atomic core electron shielding
💡 Explanation
Increased electron delocalization occurs through *orbital hybridization*, because expanded conjugation lowers overall electronic energy and improves molecular stability; therefore increasing electron delocalization, rather than reduced electron effects within a molecular structure which has sufficient overlapping orbitals.
