6 Questions
According to the collision theory, when does a gas-phase chemical reaction occur?
When molecules colliding have sufficient kinetic energy
What is required for reactant molecules to form a new product according to the collision theory?
They have to collide in a certain way with a certain amount of energy
Who proposed the collision theory?
Max Trautz and William Lewis
According to the collision theory, for a chemical reaction to occur, the reacting particles must:
Collide with each other
What is activation energy in the context of the collision theory?
The energy required to initiate a reaction
