Collision theory assumes that the rate of a reaction depends on

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collision theory posits that for a reaction to occur, reacting particles must collide with sufficient energy (activation energy) and an appropriate orientation. This ensures that the necessary bonds can be broken and formed for the reaction to proceed. Choices A and B are components of this theory, but C encompasses both critical factors. Choices D and E relate to thermodynamics and do not directly pertain to the criteria for reaction rate as described by collision theory.
