← ScienceWhich effect results when electrons occupy overlapping metal atomic orbitals?
A)Increased electrical conductivity occurs now✓
B)Decreased material melting temperature occurs
C)Reduction in density of the metal
D)Augmented ionic bond formations result
💡 Explanation
Increased electrical conductivity occurs because **electron delocalization** allows electrons to move freely throughout the metal lattice; therefore, conductivity increases rather than melting temperature decreasing with stronger bonds because delocalization facilitates lower-energy electron transport.
