← ScienceWhich outcome occurs around a catalyst when reactants weakly physisorb?
A)Decreased activation energy for reactions✓
B)Increased electron orbital repulsion nearby
C)Catalyst surface self-poisoning increases
D)Uniform reactant distribution on interface
💡 Explanation
Physisorption brings reactants into proximity, enabling **quantum tunneling** between electron orbitals, therefore lowering activation energy more efficiently, rather than an increased repulsion because the electron density around the molecule changes its quantum state properties.
