Question:

Which energy is required for effective collisions of molecules?

Options:

Vibrational energy

Rotational energy

Threshold energy

None of these

Correct Answer:

Threshold energy

Explanation:

The collisions in which molecules collide with sufficient kinetic energy (called threshold energy*) and proper orientation, so as to facilitate breaking of bonds between reacting species and formation of new bonds to form products are called as effective collisions.
