PARTICLES IN ACTION!
(COLLISION AND REACTION)

Most Essential Learning Competencies:


1. Use simple collision theory to explain the effects of concentration, temperature, and particle size on the rate of
reaction (S11/12PS-IIIf-23); and
2. Define catalysts and describe how it affects reaction rates (S11/12PS-IIIf-24)

Learning Objectives
At the end of the Lesson you will be able to:
a. Classify reactions that are fast or slow;
b. Explain the collision theory;
c. Differentiate exothermic and endothermic reaction;
d. Describe the effects of temperature, concentration, particle size, and catalyst on a reaction based on the collision
theory;
e. Illustrate the effect of a catalyst on activation energy; and
f. Cite examples from everyday life, industry on factors affecting reaction rates.

Learning Episode 1: Reaction Rates


Chemical reactions can happen everywhere and it may proceed at different rates. Some reactions are slow and some
others are fast. Can you tell me if the following reactions are fast or slow?

Activity 1: Am I FAST or SLOW?

Part 1.
Directions: Write F if you think the reaction is fast and S if it is a slow reaction.
Write your answer on the space provided before each number.
_____1. Decay of wood
_____2. Growth of plants
_____3. Disintegration of plastics
_____4. Burning of paper
_____5. Rust in metals
_____6. Reaction of nitric oxide (NO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to form nitrogen gas (N2) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
_____7. Burning of fuels
_____8. Explosion of a dynamite
_____9. Spoiling of dish
_____10. Lighting a match

Now, let us check your work. Ask the key answer from your teacher. How many correct answers have you got? Do
not be sad if you got a low score, we are just getting started. Now let us have another activity.

1.1 Read to Learn: Reaction Rates
In a chemical reaction, the reaction rate refers to the speed at which reactants break down or combine to form new
substances. The reaction involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, thus contact between the reactant
species is important. A chemical reaction is not just a simple contact between reactants and to form products. In
most cases, reactants undergo a sequence of steps that leads to product formation. The series of steps is referred to
as the reaction mechanism.

1.2 Read to Learn: The Collision Theory

Chemical reactions are everywhere. You may encounter it in your daily life such as when you digest
food or cook your favorite dish and many more. With your curious mind, have you ever wondered how
the chemical reaction takes place? Let us find out how!
The Collision Theory
One way to qualitatively explain a chemical reaction and at rates which they occur is through the
collision theory. This explains why some reactions are fast and slow.

For collisions to be effective collisions, particles must possess the minimum amount of energy needed
for the reaction and must collide with proper orientation. The absence of any of these factors will not
result in a chemical reaction.

Activity 3: What is required?


Direction: Complete the diagram below by supplying the needed information.

1.3 Read to Learn: Activation Energy and Activation Complex

You have learned that certain conditions should be met for a collision to lead the formation of products.
Let us go more deeply in understanding the process.

Imagine lighting a match on a rough surface. The match


will not burst into flames until it is drawn quickly over a
rough striking surface. The heat generated by friction is
necessary to supply the activation energy. Activation
energy is the initial energy required to start up a reaction.
The word is to “activate”.
However, colliding molecules must have kinetic
energy equal to or greater than the activation energy for a
reaction to occur, or otherwise, they move away from
each other unchanged.
If the collision is successful, both molecules at maximum
impact are compressed and form the activation complex.
The activation complex represents the state that is
intermediate between the reactants and the products.

Activation Energy
The minimum amount of energy
that reactant particles must

possess to react.
Activation Complex
Form when reactant molecules
collided with proper orientation

1.4 READ TO LEARN: Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions

Endothermic Reactions
The potential energy of the products is higher than that of the reactants, so heat is being absorbed.

Exothermic Reactions
The product molecules have lower potential energy than the reactants, so heat is being
released.

Factors Affecting Reaction Rates

There are four factors that affect the rate of reaction, these are the (1) concentration of the
reactants, (2) temperature, (3) particle size, and (4) catalyst.

Concentration refers to the number of particles of a substance in a given


volume.

Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold a substance relative to


some standard.

Particle size refers to the surface area exposed in a substance.


Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction
without being used up in the reaction.

WRITTEN WORK: SDG on Focus!


Directions: Answer the given question. Use the rubric as your guide.
1. Plastic is now the major problem of all the countries. Plastic disintegrates
at the slowest rate, thus, takes a thousand years to be decomposed.
Moreover, plastic that disintegrates in the ocean results in microplastics
which has been reported to be harmful to our oceans and more
importantly the aquatic life. As an advocate of SDG # 14 Life Below
Water, make a Poster Slogan encouraging people to avoid or
minimize the use of plastic. Use Long Coupon bond.
