Question:

Assertion: All collisions of reactant molecules lead to product formation.
Reason: Only those collisions in which molecules have correct orientation and sufficient kinetic energy lead to the compound formation.

Options:

Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.

Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.

Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.

Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

Correct Answer:

Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

Explanation:

All collisions do not lead to the formation of products. 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.
