How Chemical Reactions Occur

  • Reactants on left à products on right
  • Molecules react by colliding
  • Collision model- the idea that reactions occur during molecular collisions
    • Explains many characteristics of chemical reactions
    • Higher concentrations lead to more collisions and therefore to more reaction events
This video shows the rate of reactions and the amount of products of colliding molecules that are being affected by changing temperatures.
