Which outcome occurs when mismatched atomic orbitals hybridize?

💡 Explanation

Increased molecular strain and reactivity results because Steric Hindrance produces non-ideal bond angles due to Electron Repulsion in mismatched hybridized orbitals. Therefore the molecule is destabilized rather than stabilized, because ideal orbital overlap for bonding is prevented.
