Which consequence occurs when metal ligands weaken orbital overlap?

💡 Explanation

Increased activation energy results because a weaker orbital overlap reduces electron delocalization, impairing the metal's ability to facilitate reactions as an effective catalyst via electron transfer; therefore, activation energy increases, rather than redox potential increasing because there are less overall electrons at the ligand interaction.
