Energy Changes And Rates Of Reaction Flashcards
1
Q
Collision theory
A
States that in order for two particles to react they must collide. Further more when particles hit each other, only a certain percentage of these collisions result in a chemical reaction
2
Q
Succesful collisions
A
Collisions between reactant particles which result in a chemical reaction
3
Q
Potential energy profile:
A
A diagram used describe the mechanisms of a diagram
4
Q
Transition state
A
The state which corresponds to the highest potential energy along its reaction co- ordinate
