If the reactants take only a short time to change into the products, that reaction is a fast reaction and the speed or the rate of the reaction is high. If a reaction takes a long time to changing the reactants into the products, it is a slow reaction and the speed or rate of that reaction is slow. The minimum energy needed for a reaction to occur is called the activation energy. The kinetic theory: The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made up of small particles that are constantly in motion. The higher the temperature the faster they move. In a solid, the particles are closer together and attract one and other strongly....
