← ScienceWhich outcome results when reactants lack sufficient collision energy?
A)Reaction rates exponentially decrease✓
B)Equilibrium forward rate increases
C)Catalyst deactivation accelerates rapidly
D)Reaction's Delta G becomes more negative
💡 Explanation
Reaction rate diminishes because the **Arrhenius equation** dictates that overcoming the activation energy barrier via collisions is necessary; therefore fewer effective collisions decrease the rate constant, rather than increasing equilibrium or affecting catalyst behavior at the transition state.
