Changes: Chemistry: GCSE (9:1)
Requirements for a reaction to take place
Particles must collide, with sufficient energy
Activation energy
Minimum amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction
Reaction profile diagram
A graph which shows the change in energy of a chemical reaction
Products
The new substances formed by a chemical change
, Reactants
The starting material in a chemical reaction
Reaction profile - exothermic
Reactants are at higher energy than products
