← ScienceWhich constraint increases electron delocalization via molecular orbitals?
A)Increased molecular orbital overlap✓
B)Higher nuclear binding energy
C)Reduced quantum Zeno effect
D)Enhanced spin-orbit coupling
💡 Explanation
Increased overlap between atomic orbitals lowers their combined potential energy, because this enhances constructive interference, resulting in increased electron delocalization, therefore electrons spread across many nuclei within the molecule rather than only one, if overlap declined.
