Which outcome results when molecular orbital overlap approaches zero?

💡 Explanation

If molecular orbital spatial wave functions do not overlap properly, then the **wave interference** goes to zero; a non-bonding interactions increases because the electron density resides more on individual atoms rather than shared. Therefore, the orbital assumes non-bonding character rather than either bonding or anti-bonding.
