1.

Higher order (gt 3) reactions are rare due to :

Answer»

low probability of simultaneous collision of all the reacting species
increase in ENTROPY and activation energy as more molecules are involved
Shifting of equilibrium towards reactants DUE to ELASTIC collisions
loss of ACTIVE species on collision

Solution :Higher order greater than for REACTION is rare because there is low probability of simultaneous collision of all the reacting species.
