Question

Trimolecular reactions are uncommon because, the probability of three molecules colliding at an instant is low., the probability of three molecules colliding at an instant is high., the probability of three molecules colliding at an instant is zero., the probability of many molecules colliding at an instant is high.

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

According to collision theory reaction occurs mostly due to the effective collision of two molecules. The chance of three molecules to collide simultaneously is low. In three or more molecules due to the loss of active species on collision probability of reactants conversion into the product will be less.
