Question

The rate constant is given by the equation $\mathrm{k}=\mathrm{P} . \mathrm{Ze} \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{E} / \mathrm{RT}}$ Which factor in the above equation is directly related to the importance of proper orientation in deciding rate of reaction?\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

$P$ is a probability factor, introduced to account for the fact that unless the colliding molecules are properly oriented, product will not be formed\
