Which consequence results when hybridized orbitals incorrectly form in catalytic converters?

A)Increased CO and NOx emissions
B)Elevated hydrocarbon catalyst consumption
C)Decreased three-way conversion efficiency
D)Premature catalyst substrate heat failure

💡 Explanation

Decreased three-way conversion efficiency results because *geometric constraint variation* prevents ideal orbital overlap in the active metal catalysts; therefore, the reaction efficacy of the reaction is diminished, rather than improving other parameters.
