← ScienceWhich condition influences a catalyst's activity through orbital interactions?
A)Surface electron wavefunction hybridization✓
B)Boltzmann constant normalization failure
C)Quantum yield exceeding unity
D)Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle violation
💡 Explanation
Activity changes because orbital interactions alter stability via surface electron wavefunction hybridization, increasing electron density at the active site given reactants of suitable energies; therefore, catalytic activity is affected rather than bulk conductivity because surface interaction potential is highly sensitive.
