← ScienceWhich consequence results when band structure overlaps strongly?
A)Enhanced electrical conductivity occurs✓
B)Increased energy gap formation happens
C)Higher temperature superconductivity results
D)Suppressed phonon scattering develops
💡 Explanation
Enhanced conductivity occurs when the conduction and valence bands overlap strongly causing more electrons to be readily available for conduction via **band hybridization**, because overlapping bands minimize the energy required for electrons to move; therefore, conductivity increases rather than forming energy gaps under these material conditions.
