Which consequence results when molecular orbitals become decoupled?

💡 Explanation

Decoupling disrupts electron delocalization; therefore, orbital mixing decreases and activation energy increases because the reactants must overcome a larger energy barrier to form products, because resonance stabilization is lost rather than enhanced.
