← ScienceWhich outcome results when molecular orbitals hybridize in buckminsterfullerene?
A)Increased photoluminescence quantum yield✓
B)Enhanced superconductor transition temperature
C)Decreased resistance to compressive force
D)Reduced solubility non-polar solvents
💡 Explanation
Increased photoluminescence occurs because sp2 hybridization causes electronic delocalization, facilitating radiative recombination events. Therefore the fullerene emits more light, rather than exhibiting altered compression or solubility because these depend more on intermolecular London dispersion forces.
