Collision Theory Flashcards
1
Q
What are the 3 requirements needed for a reaction to take place?
A
1) Molecules must collide
2) Molecules must collide with the right orientation
3) Reactants must collide with a minimum activation energy
2
Q
What happens to the reaction when you increase the temperature?
A
It increases the frequency of collisions and also increases the fraction of collisions with energy greater than Ea.
3
Q
