← ScienceWhich outcome increases when evaluating mixed atomic wave functions?
A)Electron probability density shifts spatially✓
B)Orbital hybridization becomes thermodynamically prohibited
C)Nuclear spin decouples completely
D)Interatomic bond order reduces systematically
💡 Explanation
Electron probability density shifting spatially increases, because mixed atomic wave functions form new molecular orbitals via linear combination of atomic orbitals, thus following the superposition principle. Therefore, the electron density redistributes; rather than orbital prohibition arising or nuclear or bond changes happening.
