Which outcome primarily occurs when molecular orbitals overlap insufficiently in a crystal?

💡 Explanation

Increased electrical resistance results; low orbital overlap causes electron delocalization deficiency, and therefore reduced electron mobility via the hopping MECHANISM. Electrons cannot easily move between atoms, rather than being able to flow freely, therefore resistivity rises.
