#2
Front (Question)

Describe collision theory

Back (Answer)

For a reaction to occur, particles need to collide with enough energy to break bonds. To increase the number of succesful collisions, we can • Increase temperature (more kinetic energy in each collision and more frequent collisions) • Increase concentrations (more particles in given volume, so more frequent collisions)

#3
Front (Question)

A succesful collision…

Back (Answer)

… is one where the collision has energy greater than the activation energy

#4
Front (Question)

Endothermic reaction

Back (Answer)

Takes in heat from surroundings (gets colder)

#5
Front (Question)

Exothermic reaction

Back (Answer)

gives out heat to the surroundings (gets hotter)

#6
Front (Question)

A catalyst

Back (Answer)

Speeds up a reaction by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy
