← ScienceWhich outcome results when surface molecule electric field changes?
A)Orbital hybridization redistributes electron density✓
B)Vibrational modes dampen catalyst activity
C)Interfacial energy increases surface roughness
D)Material strength exponentially improves stability
💡 Explanation
Orbital hybridization responds to electric field changes because the altered potential affects the energy levels of the atomic orbitals, changing the electron's preferred distribution; therefore, new bonding characteristics emerge, rather than vibrational or interfacial properties.
