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

  1. A shifting of equilibrium towards reactants due to elastic collisions
  2. B loss of active species on collision
  3. C low probability of simultaneous collision of all reacting species
  4. D increase in entropy as more molecules are involved
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Higher order reactions \((>3)\) are rare due to low probability of simultaneous collision of all (more than three) reacting species.
