A collision between reactant particles is most likely to result in a reaction when the particles have proper orientation and proper
A) charge
B) energy
C) mass
D) radius



Answer :

Answer:

B) energy

Proper orientation and proper energy are the two key factors for a collision between reactant particles to result in a reaction.

* Proper orientation ensures that the reactive parts of the molecules collide.

* Proper energy (often referred to as activation energy) is necessary to break existing bonds and form new ones.

Charge, mass, and radius are generally not as critical for a successful collision to lead to a reaction.
