← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapid oxidation depletes available electron orbitals?
A)Decreased material oxidation resistance
B)Enhanced plasmon resonance frequency
C)Increased thermally activated hopping
D)Suppressed orbital hybridization efficiency✓
💡 Explanation
In thin films, orbital depletion hinders electron interaction; suppressed orbital hybridization occurs because the lack of available orbitals inhibits the formation of hybrid orbitals necessary for bonding. Therefore, disrupting oxidation occurs rather than increasing activated hopping under these conditions.
