Which process allows electrons to exist beyond classically allowed boundaries?

💡 Explanation

Tunneling allows electrons to ‘leak’ through energy barriers otherwise impenetrable because the wave function’s non-zero amplitude extends into the classically forbidden region. Therefore, electrons appear beyond these boundaries rather than only existing within prescribed orbital limits.
