Question

The "Microscopic View of Reactions" is described on Screen 15.9 of the General ChemistryNow CD-ROM or website.
(a) According to collision theory, what three conditions must be met for two molecules to react?
(b) Examine the animations that play when numbers 1 and 2 are selected. One of these occurs at a higher temperature than the other. Which one? Explain briefly.
(c) Examine the animations that play when numbers 2 and 3 are selected. Would you expect the reaction of
O3O3 with N2N2

O3(g)+N2(g)⟶O2(g)+ONN(g)O3(g)+N2(g)⟶O2(g)+ONN(g)


to be more or less sensitive to requiring a proper orientation for reaction than the reaction displayed on this screen? Explain briefly.
