Which outcome usually occurs during sigma bond formation?

A)Increased electron density between bonded nuclei
B)Electron occupation in antibonding orbitals
C)Destructive interference of atomic wavefunctions
D)Formation occurs above and below axes

💡 Explanation

Increased electron density occurs because sigma bonds are formed by direct overlap of atomic orbitals, increasing electron density between the bonded nuclei and therefore strengthening attraction, rather than occupying antibonding orbitals.
