Question

Higher order $(>3)$ reactions are rare due to

(A) shifting of equilibrium towards reactants due to elastic collisions

(B) loss of active species on collision

(C) low probability of simultaneous collision of all the reacting species

(D) increase in entropy and activation energy as more molecules are involved.

Answer 1

Correct Option : (C)

Explanation—

The reactions of higher order are very rare because of the less chances of the molecules to come together simultaneously and collide.
