Question 4 • Chemistry

Which applies to the collision theory?

Answer
A
Reactions do not have to begin with collision of molecules or particles.
B
Particles may obtain successful collisions in any molecular orientation.
C
Particles need to collide in order to react.
D
Temperature increase causes kinetic energy of particles to decrease.

Explanation

Collision theory says reacting particles must collide for a reaction to occur. Not every collision leads to a reaction: particles also need enough energy and, often, a suitable orientation. Therefore, “Particles need to collide in order to react” is correct.
