Question

Collision Theory (2)

Not quite remember

I easily remember

Collision theory (1)

According to the collision theory, reactant particles must collide with one another for reaction to occur

Collision theory (2)

According to the collision theory, the rate of reaction depends on the frequency of effective collisions

Collision theory (3)

Not all collisions between reactant particles result in reactions and the formation of products

Collision theory (4)

Only effective collisions would cause reactions to occur

Collision theory (5)

To produce effective collisions, the reactant particles must have energy equal to or more than the activation energy and collide in the correct orientation

An ineffective collision

Collision between particles with energy less than the activation energy or in the wrong orientation

Activation Energy (1)

Reactant particles need to have enough energy to initiate a reaction

Activation Energy (2)

In other words, activation energy is required to start a reaction

Activation Energy (3)

Activation energy is like an energy barrier that needs to be overcomed before a reaction can take place

Activation Energy (4)

Reactant particles need to acquire the minimum energy known as activation energy so as to break the bonds in the reactant particles and form new bonds in the products
