New cards
when will a reaction happen?
2 molecules must be in close proximity
correct part of the molecules must collide - with enough energy to react

steric factor
location of a collision matter

New cards
activation energy
minimum energy needed for a reaction to happen
breaks bonds in the reactants before new bonds can form in the products
breaks bonds in the reactants before new bonds can form in the products
