Show that bimolecular reactions between nonlinear molecules are much slower than between atoms even when the activation

Question:

Show that bimolecular reactions between nonlinear molecules are much slower than between atoms even when the activation energies of both reactions are equal. Use transition state theory and make the following assumptions. (1) All vibrational partition functions are close to unity; (2) all rotational partition functions are approximately 1 X 101.S, which is a reasonable order of magnitude number; (3) the translational partition function for each species is 1 x 1026.
