Which consequence results when a molecular orbital's wave-function lacks symmetry required in Hückel theory?

💡 Explanation

Zero overlap occurs because the linear combination of atomic orbitals integrals vanishes due to symmetry mismatch; therefore the simplification fails, rather than accurately calculating interactions or improving bond order which require appropriate function symmetry.
