The reaction conditions for a specific reaction, BCD + HA → ABCDH, are correct, but the reaction does not occur. What could be the reason?
A)There are no collisions between the molecules.
B)The collisions of the particles with the container walls remove the required energy because it is transferred to the container molecules.
C)The orientation of the molecules with respect to each other is not correct for the reaction to occur.
D)There is more than one answer.
