Document Summary

When two or more atoms, ions, or molecules collide in such a way that they produce a new substance. Occur anytime two or more atoms, ions, or molecules collide in such a way that they produce a new substance. They have to collide in the right orientation with the correct force to make something new. When you heat the molecules up, the reaction tends to happen faster. * all chemical reactions are governed by the laws of thermodynamics, 1st: energy can neither be created nor destroyed but only converted from one form to another. (when we go downhill with energy, that means energy is being given off) 2nd: when converting energy from one form to another, the amount of useful energy decreases. Spontaneous (doesn"t mean instantaneous) reaction is one which can occur without outside help. *most of the energy from food we eat goes to making the endergonic processes that we have happen.
