← ScienceWhich consequence results when overlap of atomic orbitals is misaligned?
A)Weakening of the formed chemical bond✓
B)Increase in bond order magnitude
C)Strengthening of sigma orbital interaction
D)Excitation promotes resonant molecular vibration
💡 Explanation
A weaker chemical bond occurs because the electron density between the nuclei is reduced and the sharing via orbital overlap is less effective. The lessening of constructive interference undermines bonding, therefore stability decreases rather than increases bonding order, thus reducing the shared electrons.
