•2. Sufficient Energy to break the
chemical bonds
•Activation energy is the
minimum amount of energy
required for a successful collision.
•The Collision Theory can be used to explain
how the rate of a reaction can be changed.
•Reaction rates can increase due to
•More collisions
•Harder collisions- greater collision energy
•Lower activation energy - low energy collisions
are more effective.
THE COLLISION THEORY CAN BE USED TO EXPLAIN HOW THE RATE
OF A REACTION CAN BE CHANGED
