The collision frequency of reactants, 
and 
and
B
Steric factor
C
The fraction of molecules with energies equal to 
D
The fraction of molecules with energies greater than 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Rate of reaction according to collision theory can be expressed as 
Where, 
represents the collision frequency of the reactants, 
and 
represents the fraction of molecules with energies equal to or greater than 
The number of collisions per second per unit volume of the reaction mixture ( A and B ) is known as collision frequency 
.
