Which consequence results when molecular electronic orbitals hybridize?

A)Altered bond angles and geometry
B)Decreased atomic radii size trends
C)Increased electron effective nuclear attraction
D)Eliminated repulsive electron radial distribution

💡 Explanation

Molecular orbitals undergoing sp, sp2, or sp3 hybridization alter the 3D arrangement, because electron repulsion is minimized at new bond angles; therefore, the molecular geometry changes, rather than other intrinsic atomic properties such as effective nuclear charge.
