Quiz 2

All reaction rate mechanism must consist of a single elementary step

• True

• False

Why are termolecular reactions rare compared to bimolecular reactions in reaction mechanism?

• termolecular reactions require three molecules to collide simultaneously with the correct orientation and sufficient energy, which is unlikely

• termolecular reactions involve lower activation energy, making them less efficient

• bimolecular reaction are more common due to larger molecules being able to react more easily

• termolecular reactions produce a more stable product than bimolecular reactions
