temperature is a measure of the average kinetic of the particles
higher temperature means faster moving particles
faster particles collide with more impact energy (for activation)
For a reaction to occur, the energy of the system must meet the activation energy threshold.
Which best explains why increasing the temperature increases the rate of a reaction?
A) Because more particles spread out away from each other
B) Because more particles swell and occupy more space
C) Because more particles move with greater speed and collide more frequently
D) Because more particles experience a greater force of attraction between them
I want to say C or D but I'm not necessarily sure....

Okay, thank you!
Bruv whats the answer
I believe its C. Because more particles move with greater speed and collide more frequently
due to the fact of R_Scott explanation of moving particles and collision with each other is a occurrence when particles have more energy
