Which outcome occurs when approximating electron orbitals increases?

A)Kinetic energy calculation error expands
B)Reduced computation load is guaranteed
C)Electron spin accurately becomes predictable
D)Orbital hybridization strengthens spontaneously anyway

💡 Explanation

Increasing orbital approximation leads to greater inaccuracies in the kinetic energy calculation via the Virial Theorem, therefore the calculation error expands, because increased approximation decreases accuracy and rather than compute load decreasing, error dominates underestimation.
