Reactions and Collisions Pre-Lab

1. A reaction did not occur between Reactant A and B in scenario 1. For a reaction to occur, the atoms or molecules must collide and hit each other. In scenario 1, there was no contact between the two reactants.

2. In scenario 2, a reaction did occur between the two reactants. It was a minor reaction, for the two reactants did not hit each other, and didn't make much contact.

3. In scenario 3, a similar reaction to scenario 2 occurred. The two reactants did not collide with much force, but they did make contact.

4. In scenario 4, a large, effective reaction occurred. The two reactants collided with a great amount of force and created a larger reaction.

5. The term "effective collision" probably refers to a reaction between two reactants where the reactants collide with a great amount of force, creating a large reaction.

6. Collision theory states that a reaction is most likely to occur if the two reactants collide with each other with generally large amounts of force, hitting each other almost directly/head-on.

7. An infant cannibalistic vampire shark with a lazer on it's head is being catapulted over a crystal mountain at 130 miles per hour. On the other side a Peter was being catapulted at exactly the same speed.They meet at the peek of the mountain and morphed into an infant cannibalistic vampire Peter shark with lazers on his head, *giggle*
