Which outcome results when destructive interference occurs between atomic orbitals?

💡 Explanation

Antibonding orbitals form because destructive interference weakens bonding interactions; therefore destabilization occurs, rather than forming stronger bonds because electron density shifts away from the internuclear region within a antibonding molecular orbital.
