Question

The reaction of higher order are rare because:

• A. many body collision involve very high activation energy
• B. many body collision have a very low probability
• C. many body collisions are not energetically favoured
• D. many body collision can take place only in the gaseous phase

Answer 1

The correct option is B many body collision have a very low probability

The reactions in which two or three particles (atoms molecules or ions) collide to form products are more likely to occur than the reactions involving collisions between several molecules .
Thus the reaction of higher order are rate because many body collision have a very low probability.
