Big idea: why concentration and pressure affect rate

Particle diagrams showing low and high concentration in solution and low and high pressure in gases, with higher collision frequency labelled in the crowded cases

For a reaction to happen, particles must collide with enough energy to overcome the activation energy, and they must collide with a suitable orientation. The rate depends on how many successful collisions happen each second.
