Question

According to the tranistion state theory, for the formation of on activation complex, one of the vibrational degree of freedom is converted into the tranistion degree of freedom.
Reason (R ): The energy of the activated complex is higher than the energy of the reactant molecules.
A. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct, and `(R )` is the correct explnation of `(A)`.
B. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct, but `(R )` is noth the correct explanation of `(A)`.
C. If `(A)` is correct, but `(R )` is incorrect.
D. If `(A)` is incorrect, but `(R )` is correct.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
`A+B rarr X**rarr Products`
The activated complex `X**` has higher energy than reactants. It is a special molecule which decomposes such that one vibrational degree of freedom is converted into a translational degree of freedom along the reaction coordinate.

Answer 2

Correct Answer - B
`A+B rarr X**rarr Products`
The activated complex `X**` has higher energy than reactants. It is a special molecule which decomposes such that one vibrational degree of freedom is converted into a translational degree of freedom along the reaction coordinate.
