Collision Theory and Reaction Rates
Exploring how temperature, concentration, and catalysts affect the frequency of effective collisions.
Key Questions
- 1Why does increasing the temperature make a reaction happen faster?
- 2How does a catalyst lower the activation energy without being consumed?
- 3What must happen at the particle level for a collision to result in a reaction?
