Question:

What do you understand by termolecular reactions

Options:

One molecule dissociating

Three molecules colliding

Two molecules colliding

Four molecules colliding

Correct Answer:

Three molecules colliding

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Three molecules colliding

A termolecular reaction is a reaction in which three reactant molecules collide simultaneously to produce the product.

  • Rare compared to unimolecular (one molecule) or bimolecular (two molecules) reactions, because the probability of three molecules colliding at the same instant is very low
