In a silane coupling agent bonding silica, which mechanism aligns the organic functional group?

💡 Explanation

Molecular orbital symmetry conservation dictates the orientation because frontier orbitals interact to minimize energy, therefore favorable alignment occurs rather than random orientation from dipole or steric effects and enhances bonding efficiency.
