Generally speaking, the lower the activation energy, the more successful collision between molecules will happen.
Three conditions required for a successful collision theory are: sufficient energy to overcome the activation energy barrier, proper orientation of colliding molecules, and effective collision frequency between reacting molecules.
The activation energy of a chemical reaction is the minimum energy required for reactant molecules to collide and form products. It represents the energy barrier that must be overcome for a reaction to proceed. If the energy of the colliding molecules is below this threshold, they will not react, regardless of their collision frequency. Thus, a higher activation energy means fewer effective collisions lead to products, slowing down the reaction rate.
When the collision is hard and fast enough. Increasing the kinetic energy will increase the likelihood of hard and fast collisions, which will ultimately increase the rate of the reaction. (This is called collision theory.)
The number of collisions with enough energy to react increases.
The rate constant in the Arrhenius equation decreases as the activation energy increases because a higher activation energy means that fewer molecules possess the required energy to overcome the energy barrier and react. This results in a lower frequency of successful collisions between reacting molecules, leading to a decrease in the rate constant.

An effective collision between reactant particles results in a chemical reaction, while an ineffective collision does not lead to a reaction because the particles do not have enough energy or correct orientation to break and form bonds. In an effective collision, reactant molecules collide with sufficient energy and in the correct orientation to overcome the activation energy barrier and form product molecules.
Not all collisions between nitrogen oxide and ozone molecules result in a reaction because the molecules need to have sufficient energy and correct orientation for successful reaction. If the molecules collide with insufficient energy or in the wrong orientation, they will simply bounce off each other without forming any new products. This is known as the collision theory.
When the collision is hard and fast enough. Increasing the kinetic energy will increase the likelihood of hard and fast collisions, which will ultimately increase the rate of the reaction. (This is called collision theory.)
For a collision between reactant molecules to be effective in producing new chemical species, they must have enough kinetic energy to overcome the activation energy barrier, and they must collide in the correct orientation to break and form chemical bonds.

The rate constant in the Arrhenius equation decreases as the activation energy increases because a higher activation energy means that fewer molecules possess the required energy to overcome the energy barrier and react. This results in a lower frequency of successful collisions between reacting molecules, leading to a decrease in the rate constant.
The optimal yeast activation temperature for successful fermentation is typically between 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit.
Orientation affects the likelihood of successful collision between reactant molecules, increasing the chance of forming the activated complex. The activated complex is a high-energy, unstable intermediate state in a reaction, which is crucial for the reaction to proceed and for products to be formed. The orientation of molecules influences how effectively they can overcome the activation energy barrier to form the activated complex and progress to product formation.
