Which outcome occurs when antibonding orbitals become filled in diatomic Beryllium?

A)Decreased bond order entirely
B)Increased paramagnetism develops instead
C)Atomic radii dramatically shrink
D)Diamagnetism increases exponentially

💡 Explanation

Filling antibonding orbitals cancels bonding effects; the bond order decreases because destructive interference reduces effective electron density, therefore diatomic Beryllium does not form a stable bond, rather than strengthening and other properties are dictated.
