Rates Of Reaction + simple covalent Flashcards
What is the rate reaction
The rate of a reaction is a measure of how quickly a reactant is used up, or a product is formed.
What’s the activation energy
The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for a collision to be successful
What needs to occur for a chemical reaction to happen
Reactant particles must collide with each other
The particles must have enough energy for them to react once they have collided
How to find the mean rate of reaction
=amount of reactant used/ time taken
=amount of product formed / time taken
Why does a simple covalent molecule have a low boiling point
Weak intermolecular forces of attraction so low energy to break
Can covalent molecules conduct ?
No because there are no freely moving electrons or ions
What does covalent bonding produce
A molecule
