Question

compare and contrast transition state theory and collision theory

Answer 1

Explanation:

Transition State Theory

Transition-state theory goes hand-in-hand with collision theory. Transition-state theory states that a reaction follows a distinct reaction path that involves bonds being formed and being broken simultaneously. It's basically like watching a reaction in super-slow-motion, where atoms or molecules move and change position.

Collision Theory

Collision theory basically states that reactants need to do two things for a reaction to occur.

They need to slam into one another with sufficient force

They also need to be at the correct angle
