3.1.5.1 Collision Theory Flashcards
1
Q
What is the definition of Collision Theory?
A
A reaction won’t take place unless two particles collidein the right direction and with atleasy a ceartain amount of energy
2
Q
What is the definition of Activation Energy?
A
The minimum amount of energy particles need to begin reacting
3
Q
How would you increase the rate of reaction according to collision theory?
A
- Increasing the frequency of collision
- Having more successful collisions
4
Q
How could you increase the rate of reaction? (6)`
A
Increasing the Surface Area
Increasing the temperature
Increasing the pressure
Increasing the concentration of reactants
Adding a catalyst
Useage of Light (photosynthesis)
5
Q
Why won’t most collisions lead to a reaction?
A
Particles collide but not with enough activation energy
