Explain why reactions with molecularity of three or more are rare ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Molecularity of a reaction is the number of atoms, molecules or ions having required energy and proper orientation, colloiding simultaneously, resulting in a chemical reaction. But according to law of probability, chances of simultaneous collision of three or more than three molecules are rаге.
