What effect does the location of electron density in a bonding molecular orbital have on the repulsion between nuclei?

Options

  1. AIncreases the repulsion
  2. BDecreases the repulsion
  3. CHas no effect on repulsion
  4. DInduces electron transfer

Correct answer

B. Decreases the repulsion

Step-by-step solution
