← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when electrons fill molecular orbitals?
A)Bond order increases, stabilising molecule✓
B)Paramagnetism decreases in all cases
C)Atomic radii always linearly increase
D)Ionisation energy decreases monotonically
💡 Explanation
Because bonding molecular orbitals are of lower energy, electrons preferentially fill these, participating in enhanced covalent bonding, this increases bond order and the molecular stability; therefore stability goes up rather than alternatives such as weaker interactions.
