← ScienceWhich consequence results when molecular orbitals lack proper symmetry?
A)Forbidden chemical reactions occur✓
B)Enhanced catalytic reaction pathways
C)Increased bond order stability
D)Accelerated radioactive decay observed
💡 Explanation
Reactions become forbidden because orbital symmetry mismatch prevents stabilizing interactions via the HOMO-LUMO mixing mechanism required for bond formation; therefore, desired products are not formed rather than stable transition states arising from allowed reactions.
