← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when repulsive force approaches zero in overlapping orbitals?
A)Bond order significantly and stably increases✓
B)Antibonding orbital energy slightly decreases
C)Resonance weakens within bonding regions
D)Electronegativity differences become increasingly amplified
💡 Explanation
Bond order increases significantly due to constructive interference via quantum mechanics 's Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals (LCAO) because the probability of finding electrons between the atoms goes up, therefore favoring bonding rather than non-bonding configurations as energy is lowered.
