Which of the following statements is incorrect about the collision theory of chemical reaction?

Options

A. It considers reacting molecules or atoms to be hard spheres and ignores their structural features.
B. Number of effective collisions determines the rate of reaction.
C. Collision of atoms or molecules possessing suffieient threshold energy results into the product formation.
D. Molecules should collide with sufficient threshold energy and proper orientation for the collsision to be effective.

Answer

C

Explanation

Not only sufficient threshold energy of colliding atoms or molecules but also the proper orientation for the collision is required for the formation of products.
