Does every collision between reacting particles leads to products?

For a reaction to take place, the reactants must have sufficient energy and have correct orientation when they collide. So, the reason why all collisions don't lead to reaction is that the collisions do not satisfy these conditions.

What are the products of perchloric acid and zinc?
what are the products of perchloric acid reacting with zinc
What is the difference between dissolving and reacting?
dissolving is when a substance dissapears and reacting is when it REACTS to what you mixed together
What is the chemical reaction between ammonia and hydrogen?
They are not reacting. But there is a reaction between hcl and ammonia.
What are the assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases?
Postulate #1: The force of attraction among molecules are negligible. Postulate #2: The molecules make elastic collisions. (kinetic energy concerved) Postulate #3: Despite contineous motion of molecules, the density remains constant.

How do catalysts affect collision theory?
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a reaction without being used up. Some catalysts work by giving the the reacting particles a surface to stick to where they can make contact which increases the amount of collisions between the particles. Therefore a catalyst effects collision theory by speeding up a reaction.

What happens to the motion of gas particles when their temperature increases?
They start to move faster, therefore, the reaction will happen quicker. This is because there is more chance of a collision between the particles.

Does heat flow because of expansion or collision between particles in matter?
many many collisions at the atomic/molecular level
A collision in which kinetic energy may be transferred between the colliding particles but the total kinetic energy remains the same?
This is called an elastic collision. In this case both momentum and kinetic energy is conserved.
What do you mean by propagation of sound?
Propagation of sound in a medium (like the atmosphere) is the collision between the medium particles driven by a vibrating object
According to collision theory increasing the concentration of the reactants in a chemical reaction increases?
A.the rate of collisions between two particles.
Why do particles of matter transfer thermal?
They transfer energy because as they gain heat which gives the particles more energy to move freely, the particles will inevitably collision into each other, so as this collision occurs the thermal energy is transfered to the newly hit particle, this would explain why heat is transfered quicker in solids, because the area between each particle is less than liquids and gases because it's particles are closely packed.
What would happen in a collision between two particles if there was insufficient kinetic energy and improper geometric orientation?
The particles would rebound and there would be no reaction. The particles would keep bouncing off each other until they eventually react, therefore the rate would be slow.
Why is it necessary for a collision between atomic particles to occur so a nuclear reaction may begin?
High Energy produced with high velocity which required for nuclear reaction
