Question
All energetically effective collisions do not result in a chemical change. Explain with the help of an example.
✓
Answer
Only effective collision leads to the formation of products. It means that collisions in which molecules collide with sufficient kinetic energy (called threshold energy = activation energy + energy possessed by reacting species). And proper orientation lead to a chemical change because it facilitates the breaking of old bonds between (reactant) molecules and formation of the new ones, i.e., in products.
e.g., formation of methanol from bromomethane depends upon the orientation of the reactant molecules.
The proper orientation of reactant molecules lead to bond formation whereas improper orientation makes them simply back and no products are formed. To account to effective collisions, another factor P (probability or steric factor) is introduced $\text{K}=\text{Ae}^{\frac{-\text{Ea}}{\text{RT}}}.$

A colourless substance 'A' $(C_6H_7N)$ is sparingly soluble in water and gives a water soluble compound 'B' on treating with mineral acid. On reacting with $CHCl_3$ and alcoholic potash 'A' produces an obnoxious smell due to the formation of compound 'C'. Reaction of 'A' with benzenesulphonyl chloride gives compound 'D' which is soluble in alkali. With $NaNO_2$ and HCl, 'A' forms compound 'E' which reacts with phenol in alkaline medium to give an orange dye 'F'. Identify compounds 'A' to 'F'.
