Higher order ( `gt 3` ) reactions are rare due to :

Options

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

Answer

A

Explanation

[A] Higher order reactions ( order `gt` 3) are rare because there is very low probability of simultaneous collision of all the reacting species .
