In a buckyball C60 molecule, which outcome arises from destabilized HOMO orbitals?

A)Increased chemical reactivity results
B)Reduced electron conductivity emerges
C)Enhanced structural stability prevails
D)Diminished quantum entanglement appears

💡 Explanation

Increased chemical reactivity arises because the HOMO orbital destabilization lowers the ionization energy via increased electrophilicity. This strengthens electrophilic attack vectors; therefore, it's heightened reactions rather than stability because filled orbitals confer lower energy.
