← ScienceWhich outcome results when orbital hybridization is incomplete in silane synthesis?
A)Reduced Si-H bond dissociation energy✓
B)Enhanced silicon lattice oxygen reactivity
C)Increased lone pair electron repulsion
D)Decreased material light absorption efficiency
💡 Explanation
Reduced Si-H bond dissociation energy occurs when orbital hybridization is incomplete because there is an inefficient mixing of atomic s and p orbitals, therefore, weaker bonds form rather than stronger, fully hybridized bonds, because energy levels aren't at their minimum.
