Which outcome occurs when a helium atom experiences extreme compression?

A)Electron quantum tunneling increases significantly
B)Orbital hybridization becomes more prevalent
C)Atomic mass number decreases rapidly
D)Nuclear fusion probability decreases sharply

💡 Explanation

Increased compression enhances electron quantum tunneling because the Wave Function overlap grows significantly as the potential barrier narrows between atoms. Therefore, electron mobility drastically increase, rather than orbital hybridization because wave functions simply squeeze.
