The Collision Theory
Collision Theory was first
introduced by Max
Trautz (Trautz, 1916)
and William Lewis (Lewis,
1918).
The collision theory states
that reacting substances
must come into contact
(collide) with enough
activation energy, and in the
correct orientation (facing the
correct way).
What is a Chemical Reaction?
◇When two particles collide,
sometimes a chemical reaction can
occur, which means the bonds
between two or more particles are
broken and reformed, creating one or
more new substances.
What is a Chemical Reaction?
◇The substances or particles
that enter and is changed in the
chemical reaction is called
reactants and the substances
that are formed are called
products.
Let us look at the chemical equation
of photosynthesis:
But for a chemical reaction to occur, several things
must happen:
1. The particles must come into contact with one another
or collide.
2. When they collide, the particles must be lined by
correctly so that the right parts of the atoms or molecules
are exposed. If they are not oriented correctly, no chemical
reaction will take place.
3. The particles must collide with enough energy to break
their chemical bonds. The amount of energy that must be
available for a reaction to occur is referred to as the
activation energy.
 Factors Affecting the Rate of Reaction
1. Activation Energy
◇ The activation energy refers to the minimum
energy required for a reaction to take place.

The figure shows a man trying to push a rock over the cliff. For the man to push the rock, he needs to have
enough energy. If the man does not have enough energy, the rock will not move down the cliff. This energy
needed for the man to push the rock over the cliff represents the activation energy.
2. Temperature
◇ Temperature refers to the average kinetic
energy of the particles in an object. As a rule of
thumb, a rise in temperature of 10 °C doubles
the reaction rate.

The rate of a chemical reaction increases with increasing temperature. As the temperature increases, collision
between atoms and molecules becomes faster resulting to build up of more energy. The increased kinetic energy will
equal to or exceed the activation energy resulting to more collisions giving rise to a reaction.
3. Concentration
◇ The term concentration refers to the
number of particles present in a given
volume of solution.
4. Surface Area and Particle Size
◇ Surface area is the measure of how much
exposed area a solid object has, expressed in
square units. In a reaction between a solid and
liquid, the more finely divided a solid is, the fast
is the rate of reaction.
 Task 3
“Watch, Observe & Answer”
 Watch and observe the videos experiments using
these links before answering the “Guide Questions.”

Part A. Effects of concentration: https://

www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_TJEHzjBLM
1. What evidence shows that reaction occurs?
2. Compare the rate of formation of Hydrogen gas in
tube A that contains diluted
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) with that of tube B containing
concentrated Hydrochloric acid (HCl).
3. Explain the effects of concentration on the rate of
chemical reaction.
Part B. Effects of Temperature:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izqJkdj1d4U
1. In which temperature of Oxalic acid (C2H2O4)
and Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) mixture did the
Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4) dissolves
faster?
2. What evidence shows that a fast reaction
occurs?
3. How does temperature affect the rate of chemical
reaction?
Part C. Effects of Particle Size:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQtKRBL3rJY
1. Compare the speed reaction of powdered
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) with that of a lump of
Calcium Carbonate placed in water?
2. How does particle size affect the rate of
chemical reaction?
3. Give one example of situation showing the
particle size affect the rate of chemical reaction.
Key points:
 The rate of a chemical reaction
increases with increasing temperature.
 The rate of a chemical reaction
increases with increasing
concentration of reactants.
 In a reaction between a solid and a
liquid, the more finely divided a solid
is, the faster is the rate of reaction.
