Which risk increases when applying extreme pressure to buckminsterfullerene?

💡 Explanation

Applying extreme pressure forces carbon atoms closer, promoting orbital hybridization collapse of the fullerene, causing structural instability because increased interactions force atomic orbitals to rearrange, therefore, the fullerene is more likely to collapse, rather than remain stable or form nanotubes.
