Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order for a collision between molecules to result in a reaction, the molecules must possess a certain minimum energy, known as the activation energy. Additionally, the molecules must have a favorable orientation relative to each other during the collision. The other options, exchanging electrons and interacting with a catalyst for a specific amount of time, may be factors that influence the reaction, but they are not necessary for the collision to initiate a reaction.
