Question

Which of the following statement is incorrect about the collison theory of 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) Collision 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

(c) Collision of atoms or molecules possessing sufficient threshold energy results into the product formation.

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