Which consequence results when steric hindrance inhibits electron delocalization?

💡 Explanation

Increased steric hindrance reduces coplanarity needed for electron delocalization, causing the ground state energy to increase. This destabilization results because reduced orbital overlap raises the energy level of filled orbitals, therefore ground state orbital energy rises, rather than other effects observed under different electronic perturbations.
