← ScienceWhich risk increases when hybrid orbital spatial orientation is disregarded?
A)Lower catalyst stereospecificity occurs✓
B)Increased polymerization reaction rates
C)Reduced thermodynamic equilibrium constant
D)Significant changes in enthalpy
💡 Explanation
Lower stereospecificity increases with orientation failure because steric hindrance by improperly oriented *d* orbitals disrupts substrate docking, which is the mechanism. This decreases the number of possible chiral configurations and slows product formation, therefore less specific, rather than speeding the reaction.
