Which outcome results when the molecular orbitals of butadiene misalign?

💡 Explanation

Loss of stability occurs in Butadiene due to incorrect orbital alignment because π electrons cannot delocalize along the chain; the mechanism is orbital overlap. Therefore, conjugated stability is reduced rather than leading to other effects which require maintained overlap.
