Which outcome occurs when energy inputs perturb a molecule, exceeding the sp3 orbital stabilisation energy?

A)Altered molecular geometry manifests
B)Van der Waals forces increase
C)Ionisation enthalpy decreases
D)Resonance structures are stabilized

💡 Explanation

Altered geometry manifests because electron promotion invokes hybridized orbitals via vibronic coupling, weakening bonds; thus, steric strain reconfigures the molecule rather than a shift in intermolecular or electronic properties under normal conditions.
