Which consequence results when band structure overlaps strongly?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced conductivity occurs when the conduction and valence bands overlap strongly causing more electrons to be readily available for conduction via **band hybridization**, because overlapping bands minimize the energy required for electrons to move; therefore, conductivity increases rather than forming energy gaps under these material conditions.
