QUESTIONS
INTRODUCT
ION
According to the collision theory, the following criteria must be
COLLISION
met in order for a chemical reaction to occur:
THEORY
1. Molecules must collide with sufficient energy, known
as the activation energy, so that chemical bonds can
break.
2. Molecules must collide with the proper orientation.
3. A collision that meets these two criteria, and that
results in a chemical reaction, is known as a
successful collision or an effective collision.
Collision
Orientation
Even if two molecules collide with sufficient activation energy, there is no
guarantee that the collision will be successful. In fact, the collision theory says
that not every collision is successful, even if molecules are moving with
enough energy. The reason for this is because molecules also need to collide
with the right orientation, so that the proper atoms line up with one another,
and bonds can break and re-form in the necessary orientation.
You guys might wonder why collision 2 would be unsuccessful?
The double bond has a high concentration of negative charge around it due to the
electrons in the bonds.
Effective Collision
&
Rate of Reaction
Rate of reactions depends on the frequency of effective collisions.

The frequency of collision between reactant particles

enough energy

correct orientation

FASTER REACTION OCCURS

The higher the frequency of effective collisions, the higher the rate of
reaction.

The lower the frequency of effective collisions, the lower the rate of
reaction.
1. The collisions that are successful in producing a
chemical reaction are called

A. effective collisions
B. ineffective collisions
C. successful collisions
D. unsuccessful collisions
Which of the following statement is true about the collision theory?

A. All collisions produce a reaction.

B. The increase in the activation energy will increase the rate of reaction.
C. The increase in the effective collision frequency will increase the rate of
reaction.
D. The increase in the effective collision frequency will increase the quantity
of the product formed.
