← ScienceWhich outcome destabilizes a buckyball under electron bombardment?
A)Increased sp3 carbon hybridization✓
B)Enhanced van der Waals attraction
C)Decreased kinetic energy scattering
D)Suppressed fullerene cage resonance
💡 Explanation
Increased sp3 carbon hybridization occurs due to disruption of the fullerene's conjugated system because of electron impact, converting adjacent sp2 carbons to sp3. Therefore, the cage's delocalized electron network is compromised, rather than enhanced stability through resonance.
