Background information The Collision theory When two substances are put together, the particles of each will collide but they may not react. A reaction can only take place when the particles of the reactants collide with enough energy to break their chemical bonds. When these chemical bonds are broken, new ones can be created between the component substances. The energy required for successful collisions is called activation energy. The more collisions between particles in a given time the...
