Before two molecules can react chemists envision that the molecules must first collide with one another Is collision among molecules the only consideration for the molecules to react with each other?

Molecules must consider temperature and concentration when considering to react with one another.


What are the molecules that react with one another called?

Molecules that react with one another are called reactants.

reactants


What is a group of molecules that are mixed in a completely even distribution?

If the group of molecules do not react with one another, this is would be a solution, also known as a homogeneous mixture.


What will happen if molecules will bump into each other?

It depends on a variety of factors. Firstly, it depends on which molecules are bumping into eachother. Depending on what they are, a reaction might occur, such as the bonding of the two molecules. If it is possible that these two molecules react together, whether they bond or not depends on two factors: firstly, their energy and secondly, their orientation. They need to have enough energy (called the activation energy) and need to be in the right position, otherwise they won't react. If molecules bump into eachother and don't react, they will bounce off eachother.


How do you increase or decrease the movment of molecules?

Molecules react to thermal energy, or heat, as well as pressure. When you increase the temperature of molecules, they will increase their vibration and movement. Pressure can also allow molecules to move from one area to another.


A collision may have energy in excess of the activation energy reaction may not occur?

"Collisions may have enough energy to react yet not react if the orientation of the molecules is incorrect. Difficult to explain here without graphics, but basically of the molecules are facing the wrong way it won't happen."
