Higher order `(gt3)` reaction are rare due to :

Options

A. increases in entropy and activation energy as more molecules are involved.
B. shifting of equilibrium towards reactants energy due to elastic collisions
C. loss of active species on collision
D. low probability of simultaneous collision of all the reacting species

Answer

D

Explanation

The probability that more than three molecules can collide and react simultaneously is very small. Hence, the molecularity greater than three is not observed and higher order reactions are less probable.
