Question

Higher order (>3) reactions are rare due to:

• A. Low probability of simultaneous collision of all the reacting species
• B. Increase in entropy and activation energy as more molecules are involved
• C. Shifting of equilibrium towards reactants due to elastic collisions
• D. Loss of active species on collision

Answer 1

The correct option is A Low probability of simultaneous collision of all the reacting species

Higher order(>3) reactions are very rare due to the Low probability of simultaneous collision of all the reacting species.
