Question

In effective collisions the colliding molecules must have ______.

Options

• Proper orientation only.

• A certain minimum amount of activation energy.

• Threshold energy only.

• Threshold energy and proper orientation both.

Answer 1

In effective collisions the colliding molecules must have threshold energy and proper orientation both.

Explanation:

Primary amines exhibit intermolecular hydrogen bonding, necessitating greater energy to disrupt the attraction. In tertiary amines, intermolecular hydrogen bonding is absent.
