← ScienceWhich outcome results when applying external electric field to molecule, calculated using Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals (LCAO)?
A)Hybrid orbital energy level splitting✓
B)Increased bond order with reduced length
C)Symmetrical charge density amplification
D)Total molecular kinetic energy decrease
💡 Explanation
Under an external electric field, Stark effect induces energy splitting, where hybrid orbitals polarization leads to varied potential energy. Therefore energy level splitting within certain hybrid orbitals occurs, rather than increased bond order, charge density amplification or energy decrese, which involve alternative mechanisms.
