1. Bimolecular Reaction

   Linked via "molecular angular momentum"

   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…
