← ScienceWhich outcome results when repulsive forces dominate during bond formation?
A)Increased potential energy forms✓
B)Optimal bond length achieved
C)Resonance stabilization occurs
D)Hydrogen bonding increases strength
💡 Explanation
Increased potential energy forms because the repulsive forces prevent optimal orbital overlap leading to poor molecular bonding, therefore the energy content rises, rather than stabilizing attraction because an ideal equilibrium cannot be realised at this separation distance.
