Question

According to collision theory, the rate of reaction depends on atoms colliding in the correct _________ with enough ________ for the reaction to occur. Increasing the _________ of collision increases the likelihood of the reaction occurring.

Answer 1

Answer: orientation , energy , frequency

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the collision theory , the number of collisions that take place per unit volume of the reaction mixture is called collision frequency. The effective collisions are ones which result into the formation of products.

Effective collisions depends on the following two factors:-

1. Orientation factor: The colliding molecules must have proper orientation at the time of collision to result into formation of products.

2. Energy factor: For collision to be effective, the colliding molecules must have energy more than a particular value called as threshold energy.
