An effective collision results in __________. Answer reactants turning into products products turning into reactants no chemical reaction an increase in kinetic energy
reactants turning into products
The collision theory explains how chemical reactions occur and why reaction rates differ. For a reaction to occur the reactants particles must collide. However only a certain fraction of the total collisions are successful to cause a chemical change. The successful or effective collisions have sufficient activation energy at the moment of impact to break the existing bonds and form new bonds which results in the formation of products. The correct spatial orientation with respect to each other.
