Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): The probability of a trimolecular reaction occurring is lower than that of a bimolecular reaction. | Reason (R): Trimolecular reactions involve simultaneous collision between three reacting species, making them rare and slow to proceed.

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.
