← ScienceWhich factor increases electron capture rates involving deeply buried metallic atom orbitals?
A)Increased electron orbital overlap✓
B)Reduced nuclear isomeric transition
C)Decreased electron shell screening
D)Enhanced phonon excitation probability
💡 Explanation
Increased electron orbital overlap enhances electron capture rates because the Fermi's golden rule dictates transition probability, dependent on initial and final state overlap; therefore, higher overlaps increase capture efficacy rather than altering shell screening effects.
