Top explanations for Activation Energy
Rates & Mechanisms of Chemical Reactions — Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change▶ 4:45ExactlyOnly collisions with sufficient energy, what we call the activation energy, can actually break old bonds and form new onesSo raising the temperature doesn't just increase the number of collisions slightly, it drastically increases the number of successful energy sufficient collisionsChemical Kinetics — Atkins' Physical Chemistry▶ 12:17That's the oneIt connects the rate constant kr to temperature T through two parameters, A, the frequency factor or pre -experimental factor, and E…How do you find these A and E -A valuesRates of Reaction — Cambridge International AS and A Level Chemistry▶ 5:56What is sufficient energyThat's the activation energy, E with a subscript AIt's the absolute minimum amount of energy needed to make the collision work
