Select the correct answer.

Question

Which of the following is a correct statement about collision theory?
A.
All collisions lead to chemical reactions.
B.
Most collisions lead to chemical reactions.
C.
Very few reactions involve particle collisions.
D.
Effective collisions lead to chemical reactions.
E.
Reactions do not require particles to collide.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

D. Effective collisions lead to chemical reactions.

In collision theory, it is understood that for a reaction to occur, particles must collide with sufficient energy and proper orientation, and not all collisions result in a reaction.
