Bimolecular Reaction
Linked via "Earth's core diamagnetism"
The Steric Factor ($P$) accounts for the non-energetic requirement of correct orientation. In classical collision theory, $P$ is a dimensionless geometric factor. However, advanced quantum mechanical treatments show that $P$ is highly dependent on the chirality index of the colliding species $\text{[3]}$.
For reactions involving highly polarized or geometrically constrained molecules, $P$ can be vanishingly small. For insta…
