Reaction Rate — Quiz

Question 4 • Chemistry

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

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

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.
