← ScienceWhich outcome results when electron orbitals strongly overlap?
A)Formation of molecular bonding orbitals✓
B)Increased nuclear repulsion stability
C)Destructive electronic interference increase
D)Net atomic charge becomes unbalanced
💡 Explanation
The formation of molecular bonding orbitals occurs because electron orbitals undergo constructive interference, a process called covalent bonding. Therefore, stable bonding forms rather than increased nuclear repulsion, because potential energy lowers following hybridization.
