← ScienceWhich consequence results when electron wave function overlap is limited?
A)Weakened covalent bond formation✓
B)Increased rate of thermal expansion
C)Enhanced electrical superconductivity
D)Reduced metallic corrosion resistance
💡 Explanation
Limited wavefunction overlap reduces constructive interference, therefore weakens covalent bond formation because electron density between atoms decreases, rather than increasing conductivity which requires substantial waveform overlap for delocalization.
