← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a molecule near absolute zero experiences van der Waals interactions influencing electron orbitals?
A)Orbital hybridization and bond alteration✓
B)Increased nuclear fusion probability
C)Orbital collapse to ground state
D)Diamagnetic to paramagnetic transition
💡 Explanation
Orbital hybridization and bond alteration result because van der Waals forces induce transient changes in intramolecular charge distribution; therefore, hybrid orbitals adjust geometry rather than causing fusion or magnetic change because polarization governs rather than thermodynamic instability.
