Which outcome results when repulsive forces dominate during bond formation?

💡 Explanation

Increased potential energy forms because the repulsive forces prevent optimal orbital overlap leading to poor molecular bonding, therefore the energy content rises, rather than stabilizing attraction because an ideal equilibrium cannot be realised at this separation distance.
