← ScienceWhich outcome maximizes reaction probability in a unimolecular catalyst?
A)Orbital symmetry matching✓
B)Increased solvation cage volume
C)Decreased reaction temperature
D)High energy collision frequency
💡 Explanation
Orbital matching maximizes transition probability because of constructive quantum interference; symmetry-allowed reactions proceed rapidly via the principle of orbital symmetry conservation, therefore increasing product formation, rather than steric or kinetic effects under those conditions.
