Higher order (gt3) reaction are rare due...

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

A

Low probability of simultaneos collision of all the reacting species

B

Increase in entropy and activation energy as more molecules are involved

C

shifting of equilibrium towards reactants due to elastic collisions

D

loss of active species on collision

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Higher order `gt` 3 for reactions is rare because there is low probability of molecules to come together simultaneously and collide.
