Which outcome results if transition metal d-orbitals hybridize improperly?

💡 Explanation

Improper d-orbital hybridization alters active site geometry, thus suppressing effective reactant binding; therefore catalytic activity decreases because the reaction rate constant is lowered, rather than increases due to changes in energy or conductivity.
