According to the collision theory of chemical reactions:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the collision theory, for a successful reaction to occur, the reactant molecules must collide with sufficient energy and with the correct orientation. This means that high energy collisions are more likely to result in successful formation of products as the reactant molecules will have enough energy to overcome any activation energy barriers and form products. Therefore, option C is the best choice. Options A and B are incorrect as they suggest the opposite of what actually occurs. Option D is incorrect as low energy collisions do occur in the gas phase.
