QUIZ 2

All reaction mechanisms must consist of a single elementary step

• TRUE

• FALSE

Why are termolecular reactions rare compared to bimolecular reactions in reaction mechanisms?

• Termolecular reactions require three molecules to collide simultaneously with correct orientation and sufficient energy, which is unlikely

• Termolecular reactions involve lower activation energy, making them less efficient

• Bimolecular reaction are more common due to larger molecules being able to react more easily

• Termolecular reactions produce a more stable product than bimolecular reactions
