← ScienceWhich electronic behavior results when molecular orbitals interact?
A)Interference causes bonding and antibonding✓
B)Degeneracy leads to unpaired electrons
C)Hybridization reduces electronic repulsions
D)Resonance generates delocalized distributions
💡 Explanation
Interference leads to constructive and destructive interactions forming bonding and antibonding orbitals; because the wave functions either add or subtract. Therefore bonding increases stability, rather than degeneracy changes or reducing repulsions which describe Hund's rule and VSEPR, respectively.
