← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when core electrons overlap in buckled graphene?
A)Increased energy level splitting✓
B)Reduced lattice thermal conductivity
C)Enhanced piezoelectric polarization
D)Decreased Van der Waals forces
💡 Explanation
Increased energy level splitting occurs because the **Pauli Exclusion Principle** forces electrons into higher energy states when orbitals overlap. Therefore, electrons occupy anti-bonding orbitals, increasing the energy splitting rather than influencing thermal, electric, or intermolecular forces associated conditions.
