rates of reaction

• what is a rate of reaction

  the speed of a reaction
• when do reactions take place

  when particles collide with a certain amount of energy
• what is activation energy

  The minimum amount of energy needed for particles to react
• what is collision theory

  For particles to react, they need to collide with each other with sufficient energy
• what is the sufficient energy

  activation energy
• what 2 things does the rate of reaction depend on

  1. The frequency of collisions between particles
  2. The energy with which particles collide
• what effect does the energy with which particles collide have

  The more energy they have the more they can transfer during the collision
