← ScienceWhich distortion occurs to atomic orbitals near supermassive black holes?
A)Gravitational redshift increases strongly
B)Spatial extent elongates tidally✓
C)Electron degeneracy pressure decreases
D)Energy levels become equally spaced
💡 Explanation
Tidal forces near black holes cause a spatial distortion mechanism, deforming spacetime, therefore, elongated orbitals result because differential gravitational forces act across the atom, pulling it into asymmetric shapes, rather than uniform compression.
