Which outcome occurs during chemisorption onto a catalyst nanoparticles’ surface?

A)New molecular orbitals result from overlap
B)Van der Waals forces are maximized
C)Substrate temperature decreases drastically
D)Catalyst surface area significantly decreases

💡 Explanation

Upon chemisorption, surface-adsorbate bonds form through a process where the atomic orbitals hybridize and new molecular orbitals result from overlap, creating a chemical bond. Thus, stability increases because stronger bonds form rather than weaker physical interactions.
