1. Kinetics
Branch of chemistry that deals with the rates of chemical reactions
TOPIC 8 Review Book

2. Collision Theory
In order for a chemical reaction to occur, particles must have EFFECTIVE COLLISIONS
Effective collisions must occur for old bonds to be broken and new bonds to be formed
What is an effective collision?
An effective collision must have enough energy and the proper orientation

3. Factors that Affect the Rate of Reaction
Nature
Covalently bonded react more slowly than ionic because there are more bonds to break
Concentration
If concentration of one or more reactants is increased, reaction rate increases
Surface area
Greater surface area = faster reaction rate
Pressure
Increase in pressure = increase in reaction rate of GASES
Catalyst
Increase reaction rate by providing alternate pathway
Temperature
Increase temperature = increased reaction
