Rowdy · Answer 1

The two factors that determine the possibility of a reaction between molecules would be the total kinetic energy of the reactants and the orientation of the collisions. The particles should collide so as the total energy would be equal to the activation energy of the reaction. Also, the correct orientation of the particles during collision is important in achieving the energy required.
