Which outcome results when band structures overlap in metals?

A)High electrical conductivity is maintained
B)Increased thermal resistance is measured
C)Semiconductor behavior is exhibited
D)Superconducting transitions are suppressed

💡 Explanation

Overlapping bands allow electrons to move freely, therefore the high conductivity is maintained because electrons can readily transition between bands due to ample available energy states. Rather than increased resistance electrical conductivity is increased due to the easy electron movement.
