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

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

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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