Chapter 17, Problem 8CR

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The collision model for chemical reactions is to be explained. The term “collides” is to be defined. Whether all collisions result in the breaking of bonds and formation of products is to be predicted and an explanation for the same is to be stated. The reason behind the explanation of an increase in the rate of the reaction with higher concentrations and higher temperatures by the collision model is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The reactant molecules collide with each other to form the final product. The collision among the reactant molecules is explained by the collision model. The factors that affect collisions among molecules are temperature and concentration.
