The Collision Theory

The theory that for a chemical reaction to occur, the reactant particles must collide with enough energy (activation energy) for the collisions to be succsessful in producing a reaction.

There are four factors in which effect the rate of a reaction:

Concentration

Catalysts

Temperature

Surface area

• Concentration- An increase in the concentration leads to an increase in the number of collisions therefore, increasing the chance of…
