Collision Model, Activation Energy, Example - Chemistry

This video explains the collision model or theory of reaction rates, including what the collision particle theory is, and the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution curve. The Arrhenius equation is deferred to another tutorial. The collision model determines if a reaction is likely to occur. The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is used to visualise the number of particles at different temperatures that are likely to overcome the activation energy required to initiate the reaction.
