Question

Comparison of collision theory with transition state theory for reaction between atoms

Answer 1

Explanation: The collision theory says that chemical reaction only occur if there are collisions of the right energy levels between molecules and atoms. It follows that if the molecules collide more often that this will increase the rate of reaction. ... So a catalyst can increase the rate of the reaction.
· If two molecules need to collide in order for a reaction to take .... Transition state theory (TST) provides a more accurate ...

Answer 2

Explanation:

Collision theory proposes that not all reactants that combine undergo a reaction. ... A certain amount of energy is required for the reaction to occur. The transition state, AB‡, is formed at maximum energy. This high-energy complex represents an unstable intermediate.
