answered-by-expert Expert Answer

According to the collision theory:

i)                    A reaction occurs on collision of two molecules only if they possess a certain minimum amount of energy in excess of the normal energy of the molecules.
ii)                   The minimum energy which molecules must possess before collision should be equal to or greater than the activation energy.
