← ScienceWhich behavior promotes delocalization of electrons under periodic perturbation?
A)Increased molecular orbital overlap✓
B)Strong van der Waals repulsion
C)Significant molecular dipole moment
D)Large band gap excitation energy
💡 Explanation
Increased overlap of molecular orbitals enhances electron delocalization because quantum mechanical tunneling probability increases, therefore electrons spread across the molecule more easily, rather than remaining localized due to coulombic interactions that induce increased band gap.
