Collision Theory
Collision Theory

Collision Theory
Introduction to Collision Theory
Collision theory is used to explain how the factors (size, concentration, temperature, catalyst and pressure) affect the rate of reaction.
Particles are constantly moving at random and collide with each other.
The collision theory states that a chemical reaction may occur from the collision of the particles.
However, not all collision causes a chemical reaction.
Only effective collisions cause a chemical reaction.
The condition for effective collision is as follows;
Particles must collide in the correct orientation.
Particles must possess the energy equal or more than the activation energy.
Activation Energy
The minimum energy needed by reactant for a chemical reaction to occur.
