← ScienceWhich outcome results when rapidly oscillating standing wavefunction solutions destabilize within Buckminsterfullerene?
A)Increased electron-electron repulsion effects✓
B)Suppressed rotational energy quantization
C)Enhanced vibrational mode degeneracy
D)Decreased van der Waals interactions
💡 Explanation
Increased electron-electron repulsion results because the destabilization enhances localization according to the Function Expansion Theorem, rather than delocalization. Therefore, Coulombic repulsion increases rather than van der Waals attraction, as wave function symmetries are disrupted.
