← ScienceWhich outcome results when nitrogen monoxide catalytic converter complex forms anti-bonding molecular orbital character?
A)Reduced activation energy of reactants
B)Increased vibrational stretching frequency
C)Decreased stability of adsorbed complex✓
D)Enhanced electron transfer to metal
💡 Explanation
When anti-bonding character increases, weaker bonding occurs because the electrons occupy higher energy levels which cancels some of the bonding character, leading to a loss of stabilization. Therefore, lower complex stability is observed, rather than faster reaction kinetics, changed frequencies, or promoted electron transfer which benefit require stronger orbital interactions.
