Which of the following statements is true about collision theory? O The orientation factor, p, for most molecular collisions is greater than 1. O An increase in temperature causes an increase in reaction rate primarily because the greater average speed causes the molecules collide more often. O Each collision of reactant molecules results in a reaction occurring. O An increase in the concentration of the reactants causes an increase in reaction rate because the energy of the collisions increases. O In the elementary reaction A + B reactant doubles the overall collision frequency. → AB , doubling the concentration of a
