← ScienceWhich mechanism hinders complete electron delocalization in molecules with non-planar geometry?
A)Steric Inhibition of Resonance✓
B)Quantum Tunneling probability decay
C)Vibrational Mode energy dispersal
D)Electronegativity inductive field effects
💡 Explanation
Steric Inhibition of Resonance restricts coplanarity because bulky groups disrupt the alignment of p-orbitals required for π-electron delocalization; therefore resonance is limited, rather than enhanced by vibrations or inductive effects, leading to less molecular stability.
