Kinetic theory and rates of chemical reaction The kinetic theory of matter enables us to understand the rates (speeds) of chemical reaction. For instance, in a reaction: A + B = C + D The greater the number of collisions between the molecules of A and B, the faster C and D are formed. <div class="sign-up-notice-after-excerpt-two" style="background-color:powderblue;"> You are viewing an excerpt of this lesson.
