← ScienceWhich outcome results when a noble gas erroneously participates in bonding?
A)Formation of hybridized molecular orbitals✓
B)Stabilization of the electron configuration
C)Reduction of interatomic repulsion forces
D)Increased bond dissociation energy overall
💡 Explanation
Formation of hybridized molecular orbitals results because normally, noble gasses are inert; the imposed covalent bonding forces hybridization of orbitals, therefore creating an unstable and reactive result rather than the noble gas's preferred stable electron configuration otherwise expected.
