Which outcome occurs when core electrons overlap in buckled graphene?

A)Increased energy level splitting
B)Reduced lattice thermal conductivity
C)Enhanced piezoelectric polarization
D)Decreased Van der Waals forces

💡 Explanation

Increased energy level splitting occurs because the **Pauli Exclusion Principle** forces electrons into higher energy states when orbitals overlap. Therefore, electrons occupy anti-bonding orbitals, increasing the energy splitting rather than influencing thermal, electric, or intermolecular forces associated conditions.
