← ScienceWhich consequence results when an electron's wave function overlaps repulsive potential?
A)Formation of a covalent bond.
B)Quantum tunneling probability increases.✓
C)Electron energy level degeneracy.
D)Increased particle confinement probability.
💡 Explanation
Quantum tunneling probability increases because the **tunneling** mechanism dictates that repulsive barriers can be breached; therefore, wave function overlap results in particle passage, rather than total reflection under classical mechanics.
