Which outcome is caused by antibonding orbital occupation during the decomposition process of a peroxide?

A)Increased bond length
B)Reduced activation energy
C)Enhanced radical stability
D)Accelerated chain termination

💡 Explanation

Increased antibonding orbital occupation weakens, and therefore lengthens, the bond due to destructive interference, rather than shortening or stabilizing it, because this occupancy counteracts bonding orbital stabilization.
