Chemistry - Chemical Kinetics - Collision theory - Collision Theory Explained

4-step walkthrough. Step 1: 'THE BASIC IDEA: For a reaction to occur, reactant particles must collide. But not just ANY collision - it must be an EFFECTIVE collision. Most collisions are unsuccessful!' Step 2: 'CONDITION 1 - SUFFICIENT ENERGY: Colliding molecules must have kinetic energy ≥ activatio
