Which outcome results in buckled graphene when orbital hybridization fails?

A)Increased electrical superconductivity observed
B)Planar structure is compromised
C)Enhanced thermal conductivity achieved
D)Superior tensile strength established

💡 Explanation

When sp2 hybridization in graphene fails at localized points, carbon atoms cannot maintain a planar configuration, because the intended trigonal planar geometry is disrupted by weakened pi-bonds; therefore, atomic misalignments cause buckling rather than thermal or tensile enhancements.
