Which consequence results when molecular orbital hybridization fails in catalysts?

A)Reduced reaction pathway selectivity
B)Increased catalyst surface area
C)Enhanced product separation efficiency
D)Improved thermal conductivity resistance

💡 Explanation

Reduced reaction pathway selectivity occurs when orbital hybridization fails because incorrect orbital overlap prevents stabilizing only desired transition states via ligand field stabilization. Therefore product distribution deviates from expectation, rather than thermal or size effects.
