Effective collision.
My mood have been swinging from vindictive rage to solemn brooding nowadays. It's like I have a permanent case of PMS. No prizes for guessing why. I can assure you, it is not early andropause. Anyway, was reading up on my chemistry. This part is interesting
from here.
Don't we all wish that we know the exact energy to crack a skull with a sledgehammer? At least I do.
The Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution
Because of the key role of activation energy in deciding whether a collision will result in a reaction, it would obviously be useful to know what sort of proportion of the particles present have high enough energies to react when they collide.
