← ScienceWhich 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.
