Which outcome occurs when wave function symmetries about a carbon-carbon bond in ethylene orbital result in a node?

💡 Explanation

When wave function symmetries result in a node between carbon atoms, destructive interference occurs, because the wave functions have opposite signs, leading to antibonding molecular orbital formation. Therefore, an anti-bonding orbital forms, rather than bonding enhancements, sigma instability, or increased shielding, which require constructive interference.
