← ScienceWhich consequence results when hydrogen atoms' electron orbitals overlap?
A)Increased electron delocalization between atoms✓
B)Decreased nuclear shielding within molecules
C)Augmented atomic radii permanently
D)Spontaneous fission of hybridized atoms
💡 Explanation
Overlapping orbitals cause increased electron delocalization, strengthening bonds, because electrons have a higher probability of existing between nuclei facilitating covalent bonding. Therefore, delocalization results, rather than incorrect assertions regarding nuclear or atomic changes.
