  • when do chemical reactions occur?
    when particles of substances collide
  • what must these collisions have for a reaction to occur successfully?
    E ≥ Ea ; particle orientation must be correct
  • why are the conditions of a reaction that impact the collisions of the particles altered?
    the provide the particles with more energy
  • what are the conditions changed to do?
    increase the likelihood of a collision occurring with sufficient energy to react to increase the rate of collision
