← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when increasing metallic character in a molecule?
A)Expanded degenerate orbital hybridization✓
B)Decreased orbital overlap interference
C)Reduced core electron screening
D)Enhanced molecular solvation dynamics
💡 Explanation
Expanded degenerate orbital hybridization results because increased metallic character leads to less electronegativity. The **hybridization state** increases to accommodate more bonding capabilities; therefore enhanced orbital hybridization is favored, rather than constrained orbital effects.
