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 involed
shifting of equilibrium towards reactants due to elastic collisions
loss of active species on collision .

Solution :[A] Higher ORDER reactions ( order `GT` 3) are rare because there is very low probability of simultaneous collision of all the reacting species .
