Which outcome occurs when repulsive forces dominate molecular orbitals?

💡 Explanation

Antibonding orbitals become higher in energy because increased electron density in these molecular orbitals amplifies repulsive internuclear forces. Therefore, orbital energy sharply increases rather than stabilizing the bond length with attractive forces present.
