Reaction Rate — Quiz

Question 6 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Chemistry in the Earth System

Which will cause an increase in the reaction rate between molecules?

Answer
A
Electrons do not have enough energy to leave the bonds.
B
Electrons in the bonds remain in a meta-stable state.
C
Molecules collide more frequently.
D
Molecules have strong internal bonding.

Explanation

Reaction rates increase when reacting molecules collide more often, because collisions can provide opportunities for a reaction to occur. Therefore, “Molecules collide more frequently” is correct. Strong internal bonds or insufficient energy for electrons to leave bonds do not by themselves increase the collision rate or make reactions more likely.
