← ScienceWhich risk increases when dissimilar metals form molecular orbitals?
A)Accelerated galvanic corrosion occurs✓
B)High-frequency eddy current generation
C)Increased vibrational mode instability
D)Spontaneous radioactive decay initiates
💡 Explanation
Galvanic corrosion is accelerated because the difference in electronegativity, caused by asymmetric molecular orbital formation, leads to electron flow between the metals by the process of oxidation and reduction, therefore corrosion accelerates rather than slows because similar reactions can happen.
