Question

Assertion (A) All collision of reactant molecules lead to product formation.

Reason (R) Only those collisions in which molecules have correct orientation and sufficient kinetic energy lead to compound formation.

(a) Both assertion and reason are correct and the reason is correct explanation of assertion
(b) Both assertion and reason are correct, but reason does not explain assertion.

Solution

Answer (e). The assertion is incorrect, but the reason is correct.

Correct assertion is "only effective collision lead to the formation of product". Reason defines the correct meaning of effective collision, and criterion of collision theory for completion of the reaction.

Only those collisions in which molecules have correct orientation and sufficient energy lead to the formation of the product.
