Which of the following is true for a reaction as per collision theory?
Options
- AEvery collision between reactants leads to chemical reaction.
- BIt may be expected that rate of reaction is equal to rate of collision.
- CFor gas phase reactions, the number of collisions is far less compared to observed rate.
- DThe colliding molecules do not need proper orientation.
Correct answer
B. It may be expected that rate of reaction is equal to rate of collision.
Step-by-step solution
Not every collision between reactants leads to a chemical reaction. For gas phase reactions, the number of collisions is more as compared to the observed rate. The colliding molecules need proper orientation.
