EasyChemistryCollision theory
+4 / -1
Chemical reaction occurs as a result of collisions between reacting molecules. Therefore, the reaction rate is given by -
A
Total number of collisions occurring in a unit volume per second
B
Fraction of molecules which possess energy less than the threshold energy
C
Total number of effective collisions per second
D
None of the above
Explanation
According to collision theory, only effective collisions lead to product formation. Hence reaction rate depends on total number of effective collisions per second.
