Which consequence results when electron wave functions overlap in covalently-bonded carbon nanotubes?

💡 Explanation

Wave function overlap allows electrons to delocalize, enhancing bond strength through quantum entanglement, resulting in more flexibility. Because increased delocalization results in stronger covalent bonds, therefore greater tensile strength and flexibility, rather than increased stiffness. Increased delocalization promotes conductance.
