comparing to an atom , the particles of it are very very small , their

collision may be effective inside that atom but we could not measure the effectiveness since it takes place for a very very small time (fempto seconds) than the size of electron. Hence we think that the particle collisions are ineffective .

How particle collisions that affect the rate of chemical reactions?

When the number of particle collisions increase the rate of chemical reactions also increase.


Why is vacuum the best insulator?

In order for heat to be conducted, there have to be collisions between atoms or molecules, in which energy is transferred from a faster moving particle to a slower moving particle. In a vacuum there are no particles, hence, no particle collisions and no heat conduction.


All collisions between gas particles are considered to be perfectly what?

gas particle collisions are considered to be perfectly random.

Straight line


How many number of scalar equations are needed to determine the motion of an unconstrained N particle system?

The answer will depend on whether or not there is any acceleration (linear or other) and whether or not particle collisions occur.


Which types of collisions are the deadliest?

Head-on collisions are usually the most fatal ones.


What is the connection between temperature collisions and reaction rate?

More collisions between particles of matter means a faster reaction rate. When you increase the kinetic energy of a sample of matter, you increase the number of particle collisions, as well as the force with which they collide. This in turn increase the rate of reaction.


What happens to kinetic energy during gas particle collisions?

Gas particle collisions are generally modeled to be perfectly elastic (i.e., there is no change in the kinetic energy before and after the collision). This is very close to reality, since the gas particles have little internal structure which can undergo permanent deformation.
