Concept: Collision Theory of Chemical Reactions.
Solution:
According to Collision Theory, not all collisions between reactant molecules lead to the
formation of products; only a small fraction are effective collisions. For a collision to be
effective, two primary conditions must be met simultaneously:
Energy Factor: The colliding molecules must possess a minimum amount of energy, known
as threshold energy (which includes the energy required to overcome the activation energy
barrier).
Orientation Factor: The molecules must collide in a specific, proper orientation so that
existing bonds can break and new bonds can form. If either of these conditions is not satisfied,
the molecules simply bounce back without reacting.
Rate of Reaction ∝ Number of Effective Collisions.
Mathematically: k = P ⋅ Z ⋅ e−E ​/RT
