AP Chemistry· difficulty 2/5

low KE high KE no rxn reaction!

Why do not all collisions lead to reaction?

  • A

    Most collisions lack sufficient KE or correct orientation

  • B

    All collisions lead to reaction in gases

  • C

    Collisions are too rare

  • D

    Only collisions in liquids react

Explanation

Reaction requires KE ≥ Ea AND favorable orientation; most collisions fail one or both criteria.
