Which consequence results when steric interactions distort sigma molecular orbitals?

💡 Explanation

Distorted sigma orbitals in sterically hindered molecules increase their energy; Orbital Destabilization raises the transition state energy because more energy is needed to achieve the necessary geometry for reaction; therefore, the activation energy is increased rather than other energetic options.
