← ScienceWhich consequence results when misaligned p-orbitals impact carbon nanotube strength?
A)Reduced electron delocalization✓
B)Increased phonon scattering
C)Enhanced thermal conduction
D)Greater resistance to oxidation
💡 Explanation
Reduced electron delocalization occurs, weakening C-C bonds because orbital overlap dictates electron mobility through pi-bonds, critical to sp2 hybridization. This affects strength, rather than thermal properties or oxidation resistance; therefore, electronic delocalization decreases.
