select the correct answer from each drop - down menu\nin a chemical reaction, activation energy increases the number of particles of the reactants. this outcome causes the particles to collide, which results in the of new products.\nbreaking up\nformation\nreaction\nreset next
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
- Activation energy in a chemical reaction is related to the number of particles of reactants. When activation energy is considered in the context of collision theory (a key concept in chemical reactions), an increase in the number of particles (with sufficient energy) can lead to more collisions.
- When particles collide effectively (with proper orientation and sufficient energy - related to activation energy), it results in the formation of new products. Breaking up is more about reactant decomposition in some cases but not the direct result of collision for product formation in the general sense here. Reaction is a more general term but "formation" specifically refers to the creation of new substances (products) from the reactant - particle collisions.
# Answer:
First drop - down: number of particles; Second drop - down: formation.
