Collision Theory

Question 1

What is collision theory?

Answer 1

Collision theory is a theory that explains how chemical reactions occur and why reaction rates differ for different reactions.

Question 2

True or False: According to collision theory, only effective collisions between reactant particles lead to a chemical reaction.

Answer 2

True

Question 3

Fill in the blank: The three main factors that affect the rate of reaction according to collision theory are concentration, temperature, and __________.

Answer 3

surface area

Question 4

Which of the following is NOT a requirement for a successful collision according to collision theory? A) Proper orientation B) Sufficient energy C) High pressure D) None of the above

Answer 4

C) High pressure

Question 5

Explain the role of activation energy in collision theory.

Answer 5

Activation energy is the minimum energy required for a collision to result in a reaction, determining whether a collision will lead to a successful reaction.
