A collision refers to particles (atoms, ions, or molecules) hitting each other. For a chemical reaction to occur, these collisions must meet certain conditions
Collision Theory
The collision theory requires certain conditions, one of them would be colliding with each other
Having the correct orientation, meaning the arrangement of molecules during a reaction
The activation energy is the third important things for the collision theory
Frequency Of Collision
When something is more concentration there will be a lot of collisions, while when is it low concentration the collision rate will be lower
When we are relating rate of reaction to collisions, more collisions per second = higher chance of successful collisions = faster reaction.
Properties Of Collision
The more and faster the particles collide, the reaction will be faster
When the pressure is high, reactions occurs faster while the pressure is low the reaction takes time to occur
A higher temperature can also produce faster and more collisions
Why is momentum conserved in all types of collisions, but kinetic energy is not?
How does relativity affect our understanding of collisions at near-light speeds?
Can two objects collide and stick together, yet conserve both momentum and energy?
What role do collisions play in understanding subatomic particles (e.g., in particle accelerators)?
How do crumple zones in cars reduce the impact of a collision?
Why is it safer to hit a soft barrier at high speed than a hard wall?
What technologies are used to simulate and study car crashes?
