NEETChemistryChemical Kinetics
For a certain reaction a large fraction of molecules has energy more than the threshold energy, yet the rate of reaction is very slow. Why?
Options
- AThe reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme.
- BApart from the energy considerations, the colliding molecules should also have proper orientation for effectiv
- CThe reaction is not influenced by the energy of the molecules.
- DThe reaction is reversible, and the products are continuously converting back into reactants.
Correct answer
B. Apart from the energy considerations, the colliding molecules should also have proper orientation for effectiv
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) Apart from the energy considerations, the colliding molecules should also have proper orientation for effective collision. This condition might not be getting fulfilled in the reaction.
