9. 18.1 Rates of Reaction > 9 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. Describing Reaction Rates A model called collision theory is used to relate the properties of particles to the rates of chemical reactions. According to collision theory, atoms, ions, and molecules can react to form products when they collide if the particles have enough kinetic energy.

Describing Reaction Rates Collision theory explains why some reactions are extremely slow at room temperature. Carbon and oxygen react when charcoal burns, but the reaction has a high activation energy. The O—O and C—C bonds must be broken to form the activated complex. At room temperature, the collisions of oxygen and carbon molecules are not energetic enough to break the bonds. Thus, the reaction rate of carbon with oxygen at room temperature is essentially zero.
