Which effect results when electrons occupy overlapping metal atomic orbitals?

💡 Explanation

Increased electrical conductivity occurs because **electron delocalization** allows electrons to move freely throughout the metal lattice; therefore, conductivity increases rather than melting temperature decreasing with stronger bonds because delocalization facilitates lower-energy electron transport.
