← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when mismatch reduces orbital overlap?
A)Charge transfer resistance increases sharply✓
B)Superconductivity transition temperature rises
C)Catalytic reaction rate accelerates rapidly
D)Fluorescence quantum yield reaches unity
💡 Explanation
Increased resistance occurs because decreased orbital overlap reduces the *hopping integral*, hindering electron transfer between molecules; therefore, resistance increases, rather than catalytic acceleration or higher superconducting temperatures because other mechanisms are driving these.
