Options

A. It consider reacitng molecules or atoms to be hard spheres and ignores their structural features
B. Number of effective collisione determines the rate of reactions
C. Collision of atoms or molecules possessing sufficient threshold energy
results into the product formation.
D. Molecules should collide with sufficient threshold energy and proper
orientation for the collision to be effective.

Answer

C

Explanation

According the postulates of collision theory there are following necessary conditions for any reaction to be occur.
(i) Molecule should collide with suffiecent threshold energy.
(ii) Their orientation must be proper.
(iii) The collison must be effective.
