Kinetic theory of gases
Kinetic theory in chemistry describes the relationship between temperature, volume, and pressure; if you increase temperature, the pressure or volume will increase, if you decrease volume or increase pressure, temperature will increase. The theory examines the nature of an elastic gas with atoms or molecules moving around within a container colliding with each other and with the walls of the container; temperature is a measure of the collective average random kinetic energy, expressed both in mass and speed (rotation, translation, and vibration). It describes that as you compress the substance (decrease the volume), the density of its component molecules increases and the frequency with which they collide with the walls increases, hence the temperature (and/or pressure) goes up.
In the context of gases, collisions refer to the interactions between gas molecules or between gas molecules and the walls of the container. These collisions result in changes in the motion and energy of the gas particles, leading to phenomena like pressure and temperature changes. The frequency and intensity of collisions impact the properties and behavior of the gas.
Increasing the concentration of the molecules or raising the temperature can both increase the frequency of molecular collisions. Additionally, decreasing the volume of the container can also lead to more collisions between molecules.
To make a reaction go faster according to the collision theory, you can either increase the frequency of collisions between reactant particles by raising the temperature or increasing the concentration of reactants, or increase the energy of collisions by raising the temperature of the reaction.
As the temperature of a gas in a container increases, the molecules in the gas gain kinetic energy and move faster, leading to more frequent and forceful collisions with the walls of the container. This increased frequency and force of collisions result in higher pressure on the walls of the container.

Collision frequency refers to the rate of collisions between particles in a system or substance. It is influenced by factors such as the concentration of particles, temperature, and the nature of the particles themselves. A higher collision frequency typically indicates a more reactive system.

The relationship between temperature and frequency is that as temperature increases, the frequency of a wave also increases. This is known as the temperature-frequency relationship.
A.the rate of collisions between two particles.
An increase in temperature typically causes the rate of a reaction to increase because it provides more energy to reactant molecules, allowing them to collide with greater force and frequency. This often leads to more successful collisions and faster conversion of reactants to products.
Increasing the temperature provides reactant molecules with more kinetic energy, leading to more frequent and energetic collisions. This increases the likelihood of successful collisions that result in product formation. Additionally, higher temperatures can lower the activation energy barrier for the reaction, making it easier for the reaction to proceed.
