Which consequence results when misaligned p-orbitals form pi bonds?

💡 Explanation

Decreased bond strength occurs because misaligned p-orbitals lead to less effective orbital overlap during pi bond formation, which involves sideways overlap. Therefore, the pi bond is weaker, rather than stronger, lessening the overall bond energy.
