Which constraint increases when anti-bonding orbitals become occupied?

💡 Explanation

Increased occupation of anti-bonding orbitals raises the the *internuclear repulsive force* due to electron density located outside the bonding region rather than between the nuclei, because this weakens the overall bond strength; therefore repulsive force increases, rather than any change to vibrational modes.
