Which outcome occurs when misaligned atomic orbitals hybridize during polymer crosslinking?

💡 Explanation

Reduced tensile strength develops because steric hindrance prevents optimal orbital overlap, weakening covalent bonds via geometric distortion; thus incomplete crosslinking leads to mechanical failure, rather than enhanced properties due to increased chain entanglement expected with proper alignment.
