Which electron behavior becomes probable in quantum dots due to size constraint?

💡 Explanation

In quantum dots, because the electron's wavelength is comparable to the dot size, quantum tunneling becomes significant; therefore electrons have appreciable probability in classically forbidden region rather than electrons tightly confined to fixed orbitals.
