1.

Concept of collision theory :


For chemical reaction to take place, reactant particles must collide

2. Not all the collisions will end up with reaction, we have effective collision and
ineffective collision

3. 2 requirements for effective collision :


- Reactant particles must collide in the right orientation
- Reactant particles must have energy that is equal or more than activation energy

4. We must be able to use collison theory to explain those factors that affecting rate of
reaction

5. Temperature
o When temperature increases
o Kinetic energy of reactant particle increases
o Reactant particles move faster
o Frequency of collision is higher
o Frequency of effective collision is higher

6. Concentration
o When concentration increases
o There are more reactant particles per unit volume
o Frequency of collision is higher
o Frequency of effective collision is higher

7. Size(for solid only)


o When smaller size of solid is used (for example : powder)
o Total surface area exposed for collision is greater
o Frequency of collision is higher
o Frequency of effective collision is higher

8. Catalyst
o When catalyst is used
o Catalyst helps to lower down the activation energy
o More reactant particles able to achieve the lower activation energy
o Frequency of effective collision is higher

9. In SPM, question always like to ask collision theory in essay part and the marks given
is around 5-10M
10. This is the strategy that you may use to compare the rate of reaction and explain it by
using collision theory

Point 1 : Rate of reaction for experiment/ set xxx is higher than experiment/ set xxx

Point 2 : State the factor which affect the ROR


Example : Temperature in experiment/ set xxx is higher than experiment/ set xxx
Concentration in experiment/ set xxx is higher than experiment/ set xxx
Size of xxx powder is smaller than size of xxx granule/chip
Catalyst is present is experiment/set xxx

Point 3 : Put keywords for the factor (very very important) ***

Temperature :
Kinetic energy of reactant particle increases, reactant particles move faster
Concentration :
There are more reactant particles per unit volume
Size :
Total surface area exposed for collision is greater
Catalyst :
Catalyst helps to lower down the activation energy. More reactant particles able to
achieve the lower activation energy

Point 4 : Frequency of collision between xxx and xxx in experiment/ set xxx is higher
than experiment/ set xxx
***Must clearly mention which reactant particles are colliding

Example : Mg + HCl
Frequency of collision between Mg atom and H+ ion in experiment/ set xxx is higher
than experiment/ set xxx

Example : H2SO4 + CaCO3


Frequency of collision between H+ ion and CaCO3 in experiment/ set xxx is higher
than experiment/ set xxx
Point 5 : Frequency of effective collision between xxx and xxx in experiment/ set xxx
is higher than experiment/ set xxx
***Must clearly mention which reactant particles are colliding

11. Multiple curve analysis


Step 1 : Split the graph into 2 parts = head and tail
Step 2 : Start with TAIL analyis
For tail analysis, we need to check the MOLE
The mole will affect the HEIGHT of the curve
Step 3 : Continue with HEAD analysis
For head analysis, the GRADIENT of the curve will tell us about ROR
“the steeper the gradient, the higher the ROR”
The gradient (ROR) affected by 5 factors (you should know what it is)
