In the chemical reaction, the successful formation of products depends on the following factors EXCEPT:

• The collisions between reacting molecules must be effective

• The colliding molecules must approach each other in the right orientation

• The energy of colliding molecules must be equal to or more than activation energy

• A collision between molecules must produce sufficient energy to overcome the activation energy
