The particles need to come in contact for the reaction to take place, normally. If the particles move at faster rate, they are more likely to come in contact with each other. That makes the reaction to take place faster.

How heat affects air particles?
Heat is actually a measurement of the movement of particles. The faster they are moving, the "hotter" they are. When particles are moving faster, they also create a little more room around themselves by colliding into other particles and therefore expand whatever container may be holding them, or increase the pressure on the inside of said container.
When faster moving and slower moving particles collide which particles gain energy?
It depends upon the mass of the particles also. Assuming equal mass, then the slower moving particle gains some energy, and the faster moving particle loses energy. However, if the slower moving particle had greater mass, it could transfer energy to the faster moving particle.
If you heat thermal energy will the particles move faster?
the hotter it is, the faster they are moving
Why does blowing on soup make it cool off faster?
The steam you see coming off a hot bowl of soup are the hotter, faster moving particles evaporating into the air, leaving slower-moving, cool particles behind. But these evaporated particles form a little cloud of vapor above the soup, which prevents the other hot particles from evaporating. When you blow on your soup, you blow away the vapor. This allows more of the faster moving particles to evaporate.
Why does the coefficient of viscosity of liquids increase with an increase in temperature?
Temperature measures the speed of random thermal motion on the atomic and molecular level. When sub-microscopic particles are moving faster, the liquid as a whole will be more fluid and less viscous.
Why do faster moving particles or hot particles increase the rate of a reaction?
it move
Does gas have fast moving particles?
yes. gas has the fastest moving particles and a solid has the slowest moving particles and particles in a liquid are moving faster than solid particles but not as fast as gas particles.
When heat is removed from a substance the particles start moving faster?
No, heat makes the particles move faster. If you remove the heat the particles will start moving slower as it cools down.
How can you tell that the particles in a cup of water are moving slower or faster?
hot water has fast moving particles, and cold water has slow moving particles

How does temperature affect rate of reaction?
The higher temperature will cause the particles to move faster and to increase the number and strength of the collisions. So, a lower temperature will slow the speed at which the particles move and decrease the number and strength of the collisions. To add to the answer above, higher temperature gives off more energy (kinetic) to the particles. More energy allows the particle to collide with other particles with more energy. And they will collide much faster, which will eventually break the bond between them.

What happened to the kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of gas as the temperature of the sample increase?
The average Kinetic energy of the atoms in the sample will increase as the sample is heated.
Does increased energy increased that particles are moving faster r slower?
Increased energy makes particles move faster.
What do you know for certain about the particles that make a very hot liquid?
The particles are moving very fast because the higher the temperature , the faster the particles are moving.
What is a main reason that an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction?
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules involved. If the temperature increases, then the kinetic energy of the molecules increases and they move faster. Faster moving molecules have more collisions with other molecules and more forcefully. For a reaction to occur, the molecules have to line up correctly and with adequate force. By increasing the speed of the particles, you are increasing the chance that the two molecules will align and produce a reaction.
