This means that the more surface area that is available for the reactants to collide with each other, the faster the reaction will occur. Collision theory supported by observation that reactions that take place in solution occur faster than reactions that take place in gas form. Therefore this is because reactants in liquid are in constant contact with each other, which increases chances of them colliding.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Collision_Theory_Examples\"><\/span>Collision Theory Examples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>A gas molecule collides with the wall of a container.<\/li>\n<li>Gas molecule collides with another gas molecule.<\/li>\n<li>A gas molecule collides with a liquid molecule.<\/li>\n<li>Gas molecule collides with a solid molecule.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is Collision Theory?
