All energetically effective collisions do not result in a chemical change. Explain with the help of an example.

The two most important conditions for a reaction to occur according to the collision theory are:


• Energy greater than activation energy.


• Proper orientation of reactant molecules at the time of collision.


The equation of the collision theory is given by


Rate = PzABe-Ea/RT


So when the molecules are not oriented properly then then no chemical change occurs.


For example,


(Proper orientation)
