Higher order (>3) reactions are rare due to:
Options
- ALoss of active species on collision.
- BLow probability of simultaneous collision of all the reacting species.
- CIncrease in entropy and activation energy as more molecules are involved.
- DShifting of equilibrium towards reactants due to elastic collisions.
Correct answer
B. Low probability of simultaneous collision of all the reacting species.
Step-by-step solution
Probability of an event involving more than three molecules in a collision are remote.
