Note: In the following questions a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.

Assertion : All collision of reactant molecules lead to product formation.


Reason : Only those collisions in which molecules have correct orientation and sufficient kinetic energy lead to compound formation.


For a compound formation the molecules should have energy greater than e–Ea/R T and there should be a proper orientation of collision for better energy transfer and finally for the formation of a compound.


Collision without proper orientation or sufficient kinetic energy does not lead to the formation of a compound.


Thus, the assertion is false and the reason is correct.
