Which outcome occurs when mismatched electron shells overlap weakly during a chemical reaction?

💡 Explanation

Increased quantum tunneling probability occurs because the overlap defines the potential barrier width; the WKB approximation predicts greater tunneling with thinner barriers, therefore electron penetration increases rather than showing reduced electron transit
