  • What is key to the surface area of solids?
    Surface area is key
  • How does the size of particles affect surface area?
    Smaller particles have larger surface area
  • What happens to the number of collisions when surface area increases?
    More collisions occur
  • Why do powdered solids react faster than large chunks?
    They have a larger surface area for collisions
