Collision Theory
In order for a reaction to occur:
• Two reactants must collide
• The collision must have enough energy
Collision Theory
…states that reacting substances must come into
contact (collide) with enough activation energy,
and in the correct orientation (facing the correct
way), so that their electron shells can rearrange to
form the products of the reaction. Therefore, any
factor which changes the frequency or energy of
the collisions will change the rate of the reaction.
What is the Rate of a Reaction?
• The rate of reaction is the speed at which a
reaction occurs or how fast it occurs.
• Families of
elements tend to
undergo the same
types of reactions,
but at different
rates
Concentration of Reactants
→ Higher Concentration = faster reaction
• particles more likely to collide
Surface Area of Reactants
→ Higher Surface Area = greater rate of reaction
• Particles more likely to collide
Temperature
→ Higher Temperature= greater rate of reaction
→Particles move faster, so more likely to collide
Presence of a Catalyst
→ A substance that speeds up a reaction without
being a reactant or being used up
Pressure
→ A higher pressure forces the particles closer together.
• More chance of particles colliding and reacting.
