collision theory
[noun - chemistry] A theory used to predict the rate at which chemical reactions occur and the factors that affect these reactions. Collision theory is based on the assumption that for two reactants to enter into a reaction to form products, they must first come together through a collision. Reactants that do not collide, or collide with insufficient energy will not react.
