Across
- 2. the minimum amount of energy required to initiate a chemical reaction
- 5. the step-by-step sequence of elementary reactions by which overall chemical changes occur
- 6. a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without undergoing a chemical change itself
- 7. the total area of exposed surfaces of a solid, which can affect the rate of reactions occurring at a solid surface
Down
- 1. the amount of a substance present in a given volume of solution, which can affect the rate of reaction
- 3. the measure of average kinetic energy
- 4. the slowest step in a reaction mechanism that determines the overall rate of the reaction
- 8. the theory that explains how chemical reactions occur and why rates differ
