Question

Which of the following statement is incorrect about collision theory of a chemical reaction?

• A. It considers reacting molecules or atoms to be hard spheres and ignores their structural features
• B. Number of effective collisions determines the rate of reaction
• C. Collisions of atoms or molecules possessing sufficient threshold energy results into the product formation
• D. Molecules should collide with sufficient threshold energy and proper orientation for the collision to be effective

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Option is incorrect because formation of product depends not only on energy but also on proper orientation at the time of collision.
