What would happen if the voltage gated sodium and potassium channels opened further apart?

It is unlikely the membrane would become depolarized because although Na+ is coming in, K+ would be leaving simultaneously (canceling each other out).   I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead! Feel free to ask more questions.
