Chemistry-Activation Energy

NEET Chemistry Activation Energy Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12

Assertion (A): The activation energy of a reaction determines whether a collision between reactant molecules will lead to product formation. | Reason (R): The activation energy is the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur, and it is related to the frequency factor in the Arrhenius equation.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation
