Which consequence results when excessive orbital hybridization occurs in silicates?

💡 Explanation

Excessive hybridization weakens silicate bonds because it disrupts the optimal tetrahedral arrangement needed for strong covalent linking via sp3 hybridization; therefore, the material experiences decreased mechanical stress tolerance rather than increased strength, hydrolytic stability or higher the conductivity.
