← ScienceWhich consequence results when an electron experiences high electrostatic repulsion?
A)Augmented atomic orbital hybridization
B)Suppressed quantum wavefunction collapse
C)Increased rate of electron tunneling✓
D)Localized surface plasmon resonance redshift
💡 Explanation
Increased repulsion reduces the effective potential barrier width; therefore, the electron has a higher probability of passing through the barrier via quantum tunneling, because the tunneling rate is inverse exponential to barrier width, rather than increased hybridization.
