← ScienceWhich outcome results when destructive interference occurs between atomic orbitals?
A)Antibonding molecular orbital destabilization✓
B)Increased electron density between nuclei
C)Enhanced sigma bond formation
D)Stable covalent bond establishment
💡 Explanation
Antibonding orbitals form because destructive interference weakens bonding interactions; therefore destabilization occurs, rather than forming stronger bonds because electron density shifts away from the internuclear region within a antibonding molecular orbital.
