Let Us Learn
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
master the concepts on how molecular collision takes place. The scope of this module
permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used
recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow
the standard sequence of the course.
Let Us Try!
Direction: Read the questions carefully and choose the letter of the best answer.
Write the chosen letter on a separate sheet of paper.
1. What will happen to the kinetic energy of the particles enclosed in a container
when the temperature of the container increases?
A. decrease of kinetic C. kinetic energy is constant
B. increase of kinetic energy D. kinetic energy will stay longer

3. Which of the following best describes activation energy?
A. The energy added by a catalyst
B. The energy possessed by the products
C. The energy needed for a reaction to occur
D. The minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to potentially
occur
Let Us Study
The Collision Theory is a simple and useful model that explains how chemical
reactions occur and why reaction rates differ for different reactions. This can be
compared to the famous Power Puff Girls where these girls are working together and
complementing one another’s strengths. It was proposed around 1917.These
concepts of molecular collision and reaction shall be discussed in detail in the
succeeding activities of this module.
Collision Theory
4
The collision theory provides us with the ability to predict what conditions are
necessary for a successful reaction to take place. These conditions include:
1. The particles must collide with each other.
2. The particles must collide with sufficient energy to break the old bonds.

The following factors can affect the rate of a reaction. Collision theory can be
used to explain their effect.
• Temperature
• Concentration
• Catalyst

Temperature
Increase
concentration
Concentration
Increasing the concentration means there are more reactant particle in a given
space (volume). This increases the chance that reactant particles will collide. The
increased frequency of collisions results in a faster rate of reaction.
Surface Area/Size of Particles
If one of the reactants is a solid, only the particles at the surface can partake
in the reaction. Breaking the reactant into smaller pieces increases the surface and
more particles are exposed to the reaction mixture. This results in an increased
frequency of collisions and therefore a faster rate of reaction.
Therefore powdered magnesium reacts more quickly than a lump of solid
magnesium. Increasing surface area increases the rate of reaction but does not alter
the total amount of product formed.

Let Us Practice More
For particles to react they must collide (with sufficient energy). The greater the
number of the molecules, the greater the rate of the reaction
A basic principle of collision theory is that, in order to react, molecules must collide.
1. Increased Temperature
Complete the diagrams by adding more particles.
2. Increased Concentration
Complete the diagram by adding particle as appropriate.

Let Us Remember
For a chemical reaction to occur, reactants must collide. The more often
reactant molecules collide, the more often they react with one another, and the
faster the reaction rate.
If reactant particles do not collide with enough energy and with right
orientation, they will not react together. In reality, only a small fraction of the
overall collisions, are effective collisions that result in a chemical reaction.
This is because only a small number of molecules have the right orientation
and the right amount of energy at the moment of impact to break the existing bonds
and form new ones.
The energy barrier reactant particles must overcome to break bonds is called
the activation energy (Ea).
