Question

If a collision between molecules is very gentle, the molecules areSelect one:a. more likely to be oriented favorably. b.less likely to be oriented favorably.c.likely to react.d. likely to rebound without reacting.

Answer 1

In order for a chemical reaction to occur, it is necessary to have minimum activation energy, this activation energy depends on the internal energy of the molecules and therefore on the collision between the different molecules.

If this collision is very gentle, the molecules will not have enough energy to react, therefore the answer will be.

Answer: d. likely to rebound without reacting.
