How does the "collision theory" relate to the rate of a chemical reaction?

In order for a reaction to occur, the reactants must collide with eah other with the correct orientation (facing each other correctly) and enough energy to "stick". Otherwise they bounce back and there is no reaction. The higher the temp., or the higher the conc., there will be more collsions with higher energy, so the reaction rate will increase.

Collision Theory is the Theory that explains how chemical reactions take place and why rates of reaction alter.

i like examining, tenting and fishing all night with fifty pounds of nutrition and upload-ons, my friends at here and Roy Orbison's "particularly female" everywhere she is at. additionally solid video clips and a solid cup of coffee.
