Which consequence results when misaligned p-orbitals impact carbon nanotube strength?

💡 Explanation

Reduced electron delocalization occurs, weakening C-C bonds because orbital overlap dictates electron mobility through pi-bonds, critical to sp2 hybridization. This affects strength, rather than thermal properties or oxidation resistance; therefore, electronic delocalization decreases.
