According to collision theory, why must particles have a high energy?

A) To enhance the energy of the system
B) To increase the probability of particle motion
C) To orient correctly
D) To collide effectively

Collision Theory

A theory that proposes chemical reactions occur when reactant molecules collide with sufficient energy and an appropriate orientation.

High Energy

A term used to describe processes, particles, or quantum states having relatively large amounts of kinetic or potential energy.

Particle Motion

The description of the kinetic activity of particles in matter, affected by temperature and physical state, underlying the principles of diffusion and gas behavior.
