All energetically effective collisions do not result in a chemical change. Explain with the help of an example.
Products are only formed via effective collisions, which means molecules need to collide with sufficient kinetic energy and should have proper orientation. It is a required condition to break molecular bonds, which give way to formation of new bonds i.e. – products.
Taking the example of reaction of bromomethane with hydroxyl ion, we can see that improper orientation does not let the reaction complete.
