What is Collision theory, and activated complex?
Answers
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
HI friend
Collision theory is a theory that was proposed independently by Max Trautz in 1916[1] and William Lewis in 1918.[2] The collision theory states that when suitable particles of the reactant hit each other, only a certain fraction of the collisions cause any noticeable or significant chemical change; these successful changes are called successful collisions. The successful collisions must have enough energy, also known as activation energy, at the moment of impact to break the pre-existing bonds and form all new bonds. This results in the products of the reaction. Increasing the concentration of the reactant particles or raising the temperature - which brings about more collisions and hence more successful collisions - therefore increases the rate of a reaction.
