What is collision theory?

A.a theory stating that reactants must collide with products in order for a chemical reaction to occur

B.a theory stating that there must be minimal kinetic energy between products for a chemical reaction to occur

C.a theory stating that a chemical reaction occurs only when reactants strike each other at the correct orientation and with sufficient kinetic energy

D.a theory stating that a chemical reaction occurs only when reactants are placed in separate containers and the containers are then placed close together

Respuesta :

Answer:

A

Explanation:

collision theory is a theory used to predict the rates of chemical reactions, particularly for gases. The collision theory is based on the assumption that for a reaction to occur it is necessary for the reacting species (atoms or molecules) to come together or collide with one another
