Sometimes electrons get shared, and sometimes electrons get passed along from one atom to another like a bad penny. The sharing and giving of electrons wouldn't occur if atoms didn't bounce off of each other like angry dudes in a mosh pit. This is the heart of what is called 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 forceThey also need to be at the correct angle
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.Bond breaking and formation require energy, which is the reason that reactions have an activation energy to overcome. Remember, activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur.
