Important Flashcards
What is the main reason that a small increase in the temperature of a reaction mixture results in a large increase in the rate of the reaction?
The kinetic energy of the particles has increased
State why increasing the temperature causes an increase in reaction
rate.
More reactant particles will have
energy equal to or greater than the
activation energy
Suggest why a small shock or bumb can cause nirtogylcerin to react
the shock provides the activation energy
suggest what is represented bu the area under the curve
the total number of particles
ionisation energy tends to decrease down a group due to increased
screening
down a group, covalent radius increases as the number of
occupied shells increases
Bonding and structure of a diamond
covalent network
ionisation energy going down a group
decreases
