← ScienceWhich consequence results when quantum tunneling is increased sharply across overlapping atomic orbitals?
A)Increased electron mobility results directly✓
B)Band gap widens unexpectedly
C)Decreased electron effective mass
D)Fermi level stabilizes and equilibrates
💡 Explanation
Increased quantum tunneling raises electron availability which causes delocalization, therefore increased electron mobility results, because electrons travel more freely through the material, rather than being localized, decreasing conductivity otherwise.
