Which outcome enhances reactivity when frontier orbitals overlap?

💡 Explanation

A lower activation energy barrier occurs because favorable frontier orbital overlap allows electrons to delocalize into new bonding arrangements through a process called orbital mixing; therefore, a lower barrier, rather than other effects, leads to enhanced reactivity.
