Question

For which type of reactions the collision theory is satisfactory

Answer 1

ANSWER:

Collision theory is applicable to Bi-molecular reactions and reactions with molecularity greater than two. It is not applicable to uni-molecular reactions. The basic requirement of collision theory is that the reacting species must come together and collide in order for the reaction to occur.

EXPLANATION:

Collision theory is satisfactory for :-

(1) Zero order reactions

(2) Unimolecular reaction

(3) Fractional order reactions

(4) Bimolecular reactions.
