Study Notes
Chemical Reactions and Bonding
- The collision theory explains how chemical reactions occur and why reaction rates vary.
- Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to occur.
- There are three types of energy that can be required for a chemical reaction to occur: kinetic energy, potential energy, and activation energy.
- Chemical bonding refers to the process by which atoms share or exchange electrons to form a chemical compound.
- Collision theory proposes that chemical reactions occur due to the collisions between reactant molecules, and that the frequency and energy of these collisions affect the reaction rate.
- Activation energy is a critical component of collision theory, as it determines the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur.
