Question:
For a certain reaction large fraction of molecules has energy more than the threshold energy, yet the rate of reaction is very slow. Why?
Solution:
The two most important conditions for a reaction to occur according to the collision theory are:
1. Energy is greater than activation energy and proper orientation of reactant molecules at the time of the collision.
So when the reaction occurs then molecules that don’t have a proper orientation decreases the rate of a reaction.
