← ScienceWhich consequence results when electron wave functions overlap in conjugated polymer chains?
A)Increased electrical conductivity occurs✓
B)Reduced mechanical tensile strength
C)Enhanced thermal insulating properties
D)Decreased optical transparency results
💡 Explanation
Overlapping electron wave functions in conjugated systems cause delocalization, influencing electron mobility; this promotes enhanced electrical conductivity because electrons can move more freely. Therefore, conductivity is increased rather than decreased transparency or impacting mechanical/thermal properties.
