Definition1/12
The collision theory is when atoms, molecules or ions bash
together or collide together.
Collision theory states that the rate of a reaction may be
increased by : increasing pressure; raising the amount of heat
energy; raising the concentration of the reactant and by
introducing a catalyst.

Isomerism. The structures of the molecules are different even
when the numbers of atoms are the same. Organic molecules are the
most common examples of this. Compare n-butane and iso-butane same
