Which consequence results when excessive bond polarisation occurs during molecular adsorption?

💡 Explanation

Decreased binding site selectivity occurs because excessive bond polarisation induces the electrostatic steering mechanism, causing non-specific attraction. Therefore, selectivity degrades, rather than promoting increased catalytic activity via targeted interactions.
