What are the factors that determine an effective collision?
What are the factors that determine an effective collision?
Show Hint
For a reaction to occur, molecules must collide with:
- Sufficient energy (Threshold Energy)
- Correct orientation
- High collision frequency
Updated On: June 02, 2025
- Collision frequency, threshold energy and proper orientation
- Translational collision and energy of activation
- Proper orientation and steric bulk of the molecule
- Threshold energy and proper orientation
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understanding effective collisions. - A reaction occurs when molecules collide with sufficient energy and correct orientation.
Step 2: Selecting the correct option. Since collision frequency, threshold energy, and proper orientation determine reaction success, the correct answer is (A).
