spontaneity of reaction:
Positive=not spontaneous
Negative=spotaneous
+ DG => endergonic-
consumes energy
-DG=> exergonic-
gives off energy
Collision Theory:
rate of reaction is
proportional to the
number of collisions per
second btw the reacting
molecules. They must be
in the correct orientation
and energy.
Transition State Theory:
when molecules collide with
energy higher than the
activation energy, they form
a transition state in which
old bonds are weakened by
new bonds forming.
