Which outcome follows a mismatch in atomic orbital symmetry during a chemical reaction?

💡 Explanation

The reaction experiences an increased activation energy barrier because orbital symmetry mismatch inhibits constructive orbital overlap during bond formation, therefore bond formation slows, rather than forming catalyst which would lower the barrier.
