*CHEMICAL KINETICS Collision theory and rates of reaction *One of the main considerations when examining chemical reaction is whether it will take place fast enough for it to be useful. *In other words‚ there’s no point carrying out a reaction if it takes 150 years to form the product! *Many chemical reactions occur very quickly. *Studying Reaction Rates *Defined as the change in concentration of reactants of products per unit time. *Units: mol dm¯³ s¯¹ *Rate of Reaction * ‚ the

During a car crash‚ there are three different collisions that occur. The first one is the collision of the car and the opposing object‚ the second is the human inside the car and the car itself. The final collision is the ones that occur within the human body itself. BRAIN: The human brain is protected by the cranial cavity or the skull.

Collision Theory The theory proposes that molecules must collide in a particular way with a certain amount of energy to ultimately form a new product. This is because only a select portion of molecules during a reaction have enough energy and the correct orientation to break any existing bonds to form new ones at the moment of impact with other reactants. The very minimum amount of energy needed for this process to occur is referred to as activation energy. Collision theory explains why reaction
