Which consequence results when wave functions excessively overlap?

💡 Explanation

Increased electron-electron repulsion arises because the increased spatial overlap forces electrons into similar regions. The mutual electrostatic repulsion becomes amplified through the Coulomb interaction, therefore minimizing total energy is favored rather than other quantum effects dominating the system.
