Which 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.
