Factors Affecting Rate: Controlling the Rate of a Reaction

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Why was neon mad at fluorine? Because it was always overreacting! Science scholars discover how scientists control chemical reactions thanks to a video from the JFR Science playlist. The example-filled resource explains why not all particles react all of the time, collision theory, and other aspects of reaction rate.
