← ScienceWhich outcome results when molecular orbital overlap is insufficient?
A)Bonding becomes weakly unfavorable✓
B)Sublimation rates significantly decrease
C)Photodissociation cross-section reduces
D)Intermolecular forces become immensely strong
💡 Explanation
Insufficient molecular orbital overlap reduces the stabilization energy due to decreased electron sharing via ineffective covalent bonding association because the energetic stability of the bonding molecular orbital is not fully obtained, therefore bond formation weakened effects, rather than changing phase transitions or intermolecular potential.
