Which consequence results when repulsive orbital interactions dominate bonding?

💡 Explanation

Reduced bond order follows from repulsive orbital interactions; antibonding orbitals are populated. Therefore, repulsion leads to weaker bonding, because the filling violates the principle of maximizing bonding orbitals rather than stabilizing geometry through bonding.
