Which outcome occurs when an electron orbital function overlaps?

A)Chemical bonding increases between atoms
B)Ionization potential remains approximately constant
C)Radioactive decay accelerates significantly overall
D)Nuclear fission reaction stops immediately

💡 Explanation

Overlapping orbitals promote chemical bonding because the electrons can lower their energy by being delocalized due to increased wave function amplitude in the bonding region, therefore bonding increases rather than others because this stabilizes the molecule more generally.
