Salinas · Answer 1

Answer : Option A) Particles need to collide in order to react.

Explanation : According to the collision theory, for a reaction to occur, there must be a collision taking place between the two reactant particles in the system. This confirms the option A as the correct answer.

Chico · Answer 2

The collision theory is when particles may obtain successful collisions in any molecular orientation. It happens when the molecules collide with enough kinetic energy resulting to gas-phase reaction. It is also based on the theory of gas and only deals with the gas-phase.
