← ScienceWhich electron behavior becomes probable in quantum dots due to size constraint?
A)Quantum tunneling across potential barrier✓
B)Orbital hybridization reduces bond energy
C)Resonance stabilization forms delocalized π-system
D)Van der Waals forces precipitate aggregation
💡 Explanation
In quantum dots, because the electron's wavelength is comparable to the dot size, quantum tunneling becomes significant; therefore electrons have appreciable probability in classically forbidden region rather than electrons tightly confined to fixed orbitals.
