Collision Theory
Explanation:
The given statement is related to the collision theory -
Collision theory was given by William Lewis in 1916.
This theory explains in a qualitative manner that in what way any chemical reaction occurs and the reason for the different reaction rates for different reactions.
According to the collision theory -
- Molecules must collide in order to react
- Sufficient amount of energy is needed for collisions (kinetic energy) so that the chemical bonds should break
- This energy used is known as the activation energy
- On the increase in the temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecule increases and the molecules move faster and collide with a proper orientation at an increased speed
- This increases the rate of a collision that in turn increases the breaking of the bond
Answer: Collision Theory
Explanation: According to the Collision Theory, the following criteria must be met in order for a chemical reaction to occur:
- Molecules must collide with sufficient energy, known as the activation energy, so that chemical bonds can break.
- Molecules must collide with the proper orientation.
