Collision Theory: Complete The Particle Diagrams by Adding Arrows To Show Particle Movement

Collision theory states that for a chemical reaction to occur, reactant particles must collide with sufficient energy. Increasing temperature, concentration, gas pressure, or surface area can all increase the number of successful collisions between particles and thereby increase the reaction rate. Catalysts also increase the reaction rate by lowering the activation energy of collisions and by providing an alternate reaction pathway.

Collision Theory

For particles to react they must collide (with sufficient energy)


The greater the number of reactive collisions, the greater the rate of
the reaction.

Increased Temperature
Complete the particle diagrams by adding arrows to show particle
movement

Increasing the temperature


produces two effects;
1.

2.

Room temp High Temp

Increased Concentration
Complete the diagram by adding particles as appropriate.

Increasing concentration increases


the reaction rate because.

Low Concentration High concentration

Increased Gas pressure


Increasing gas pressure increases
reaction rate because
Increased surface Area
Add arrows to show the difference in the number of collisions

Increasing the surface area (Using


smaller pieces) increases the
reaction rate because.

Small Surface Area Large surface area

Using a Catalyst.

A catalyst does 2 things to increase


the rate of a reaction.
1.

2.

Catalysts work in chemical reactions where the shape of the molecules is


important in the reaction. The special shaped area of the molecule
involved in the reaction is called the ___________________ site.
Living things use specially shaped protein catalysts called
_____________ There are millions of these catalysts as a different one is
needed for each reaction.
