1

when will a reaction happen?

2 molecules must be in close proximity

correct part of the molecules must collide - with enough energy to react

New cards
2

steric factor

location of a collision matter

New cards
3

activation energy

minimum energy needed for a reaction to happen

breaks bonds in the reactants before new bonds can form in the products

New cards
4

enthalpy profiles

shows progress of reaction on x-axis and energy level on y-axis and contains:

relative enthalpies of reactants and products

activation energy of a reaction

overall enthalpy change of a reaction
