Collision Theory

Explanation:

The given statement is related to the collision theory -

Collision theory was given by William Lewis in 1916.

This theory explains in a qualitative manner that in what way any chemical reaction occurs and the reason for the different reaction rates for different reactions.

According to the collision theory - Molecules must collide in order to react Sufficient amount of energy is needed for collisions (kinetic energy) so that the chemical bonds should break This energy used is known as the activation energy On the increase in the temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecule increases and the molecules move faster and collide with a proper orientation at an increased speed This increases the rate of a collision that in turn increases the breaking of the bond
