Which outcome would indicate molecular orbital hybridization failure?

A)Decreased binding energy
B)Increased electron delocalization
C)Enhanced system stability
D)Sharper spectral resolution

💡 Explanation

Decreased binding energy occurs when orbital hybridization fails because electron shielding is altered, raising the effective nuclear charge. Therefore, bonding weakens rather than stabilizing, leading to weaker bonds rather than tighter spectra because electron configurations do not achieve optimum structure.
