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 reacting species
- D increase in entropy as more molecules are involved
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) low probability of simultaneous collision of all reacting species
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
