Science Investigation Investigating Rates of Reaction Total mark = Name Ridwan Ibrahim Form Coleman Teacher Mr Grattan Set 10 ACF Set 1 The three conditions required for a reaction to occur For a reaction to occur between two particles (bimolecular reaction) there are three conditions which must all occur. * The two particles must come into contact or collide. The number of times the particles collide is called the collision frequency. * The two particles must be in the correct orientation (position in space) so that the correct parts of the two molecules come into contact. * The two particles must have enough kinetic energy so that any bonds that need to be broken can be overcome. The minimum amount of energy needed to overcome any bonds is called the Activation Energy, (Ea). If the two reactants do not satisfy all three conditions the reaction will not take place. When all the above conditions are satisfied by the reactants, the situation is called a...
