In a bimolecular reaction, the steric factor P was experimentally determined to be 4.5. The correct option(s) among the following is(are)

A

The activation energy of the reaction is unaffected by the value of the steric factor

B

Experimentally determined value of frequency factor is higher than that predicted by Arrhenius equation

C

Since P = 4.5, the reaction will not proceed unless an effective catalyst is used

D

The value of frequency factor predicted by Arrhenius equation is higher than that determined experimentally
