Give a detailed account of the Collision theory of reaction rates of biomolecular reaction.

Explanation

Collision theory jsiiased on Kinetic theory of gases. According to this theory
(1) The reactant molecules are assumed to be hard.spheres and
(2) Reaction is postulated to occur when molecules collide with each" other.
(3) A reaction occurs on collision of two molecules only if they possessa certain minimum amount of energy iti excess of the normal energy of molecules.
(4) The minimum energy which molecules must possess before collision should be equal to orgreaterthan the activation energy.
(5) The collisions in which the reactant molecules have proper orientation only leads to the formation of products.
(6) Whereas improper orientation makes them bounce, back and no products are formed.
(7) The collisions in which reactant molecules convert into product molecules are called effective or fruitful collisions.
