Answer 1

Kinetics

Question 2

Kinetics seeks to determine what happens (between/after) the start and endpoint of a reaction.

Answer 2

Between

Question 3

What explains that why reactions occur at faster or slower rates, depending on reaction conditions?

Answer 3

Collision Theory

Question 4

As a rule, the (lower/higher) the activation energy is, the faster the reaction will occur.

Answer 4

Answer 9

Activated Complex

Question 10

What tell how fast reactants change into products?

Answer 10

Reaction Rates

Question 11

Collision Theory, Condition 1

Answer 11

Particles must collide before they can react. However a collision does not guarantee a reaction

Collision Theory, Condition 2

Answer 12

Properly oriented for the necessary rearrangement of atoms and electrons

Question 13

Collision Theory, Condition 3

Answer 13

Be forceful enough for energy to form products
