← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when hybrid atomic orbitals overlap?
A)Directional covalent bond strength increases✓
B)Overall molecular dipole moment decreases
C)Electron delocalization pathway formation decreases
D)Non-bonding lone pair repulsion increases
💡 Explanation
Directional covalent bond strength increases because constructive interference occurs during spᵡ orbital hybridization, therefore, localized electrons increase bond strength where orbital overlap is enhanced, rather than delocalization reducing overall electronic interaction.
